In our last seminar we focused on understanding the business continuity requirements that are uncovered by a structured Business Impact Analysis (BIA). We now take the process to the second step, using your BIA to architect and design a Disaster Recovery infrastructure that can protect your business’ viability in case of a system outage, regardless of its source.
We have teamed with industry-leading data de-duplication and virtual environment backup vendors Exagrid and Veeam to sponsor a Best-Practices hands-on workshop that will be led by Enterprise Architects Steve Merkel and Brad Tucci. Steve and Brad have completed numerous DR designs that have been both put into production - and put to the test of system outages. They will lead a practical step-by-step workshop that will teach you a number of the principles used is architecting a DR infrastructure that meets your business needs.
In this interactive presentation, you'll learn how to:
- Create the fastest backups for your virtual environment, both locally and at secondary sites
- Eliminate the problems of tape backup
- Achieve better storage utilization and scalability
- Speed recovery of virtual machines with instant restore capabilities
- Verify the recoverability of every backup
- Tailor existing IT solutions to meet your specific VMware backup requirements
Join an expert from ExaGrid Systems who will answer these questions, share customer case studies, and help you understand the factors to consider when evaluating various backup alternatives for your environment.
Attend this informative workshop to hear real-world examples of other IT organizations who have optimized their virtual backups. You'll also have the chance to ask the experts questions and network with fellow IT colleagues.
