A New Era for Data Protection: Converged DR and Backup

  Presented by Zerto

In today’s always-on, information-driven organizations, business continuity depends completely on IT infrastructures that are up and running 24/7. Being prepared for any data related disaster is key!

  • The cost and business impact of downtime and data loss can be immense
  • Data loss is not only caused by natural disasters, power outages, hardware failure and user errors, but more and more by software problems and cyber security related disasters
  • Having a plan and process in place will help you mitigate the impact of an outage on your business

In this presentation we will address the challenges, needs, strategies, and solutions.

Developing a 360 Data Management Strategy for Your Business

  Presented by World Wide Technology & Veritas

Exponential data growth, rising storage costs, complex cloud migrations, and stringent regulations are forcing organizations to find efficient and economical ways to take control of and manage their growing data environment.

Join this session to learn how a global financial institution and a large data analytics company were both able to successfully implement an end-to-end data management strategy, which encompassed the following:

  • Data Protection: ensure data copies are kept for redundancy to prevent data loss.
  • Compliance Readiness: proper retention and timely destruction of data as regulatory requirements dictate.
  • Data Visibility: understanding what data you have, where it is, and how it’s used.
  • Data/Workload Portability: movement and migration of applications and data among various on-prem and cloud locations.
  • Business Continuity: recovery and resilience that is needed when massive outages or disasters occur.
  • Storage Optimization: automating the storage of data across resources to optimize cost and performance.

Backups to the Cloud: Our Journey to Move Beyond Tape
