Data Protection Techniques Part 1
The best metric for measuring business resiliency is “time to data”—the amount of time required to restore access to business critical data assets to business decision-makers. This hour provides the latest information on data protection technologies and provides best practices for applying appropriate protection services to data assets. Attendees will learn:
  • The three elements of effective data protection strategy: how to discern the criticality of business data assets, how to match protection services to data based on asset criticality and how to manage data asset recovery should a disaster occur
  • Techniques for classifying the data asset
  • Techniques for protecting data in place and for replicating it for recovery: hype and hope
  • The role of intelligent archiving in business continuity
  • Challenges to (and solutions for) managing complexity in data protection and replication processes
  • Infrastructure “wrappers” and other failover strategies
    Data Protection Techniques Part 2
    From a Paper Plan to Real World
    The purpose of continuity planning is not to create a paper document, but a recovery capability for the organization. Such a capability requires management awareness and support, resilient business processes, recovery team selection and training and testing. This hour will cover:
  • Criteria for selecting and methods for testing recovery team members
  • How to build a continuity capability change management system
  • How to test continuity procedures
  • The role of status monitors and infrastructure wrappers in simplifying plan testing
  • Tips for keeping management engaged in the on-going process of business continuity
    Live Q&A with Disaster Recovery expert Jon Toigo
    Virtualization for disaster recovery, an interview with Tom Dugan, Chief Technology Officer of Recovery Networks Inc.
    Disaster recovery (DR) is often one of an organization's first uses for virtualization. But transitioning from physical data center environments to backup and recovery in virtual environments raises many questions. In this Q&A interview, DR expert Tom Dugan offers advice for data center managers who want to take advantage of virtualization for DR, including DR strategy differences between physical and virtual servers and virtualization-specific backup and recovery tools. Questions will include:
  • One of the primary uses of VMware (and virtualized servers, in general) is with Disaster Recovery. If someone is just starting to look at it for DR, what advice would you give them?
  • You mentioned that you can treat Virtual Servers the same as Physical Servers. Once you have your virtual infrastructure in place, what about “backup” – what do people need to consider for backing up their virtual environments?
  • Regarding “recovery”, what about the ability to Vmotion
