Data Protection for the Cloud Era

  Presented by Druva

More and more enterprises are now leveraging the cloud to increase their level of data protection and management for their applications. The ability to keep secondary, or backup data in cloud storage; eliminates traditional data centers, reduces operational complexity associated with legacy on-premise backup solutions, allows unlimited scalability, centralizes storage of all secondary data sources, provides unlimited compute, allows for additional insight and business value from that data. and finally, and finally, the ability to do automated Disaster Recovery (DR) without maintaining a DR facility.

Hold onto Your Butts! Build a Better BC/DR Plan Than Jurassic Park

  Presented by Jimmy Tassin • Member, InfraGard

Business continuity and disaster recovery should be a key priority in all levels of business. Where the largest of companies can stumble when something happens (InGen) because not all potential factors were considered, SMBs can be chaos! Between convincing management to get solutions in place, figuring out what to put in place, determining what makes up a good plan and testing it once it’s in place, can be a monumental task for a small team, or a team of one. With seven years experience in the banking industry and working extensively with regulations, Jimmy will pass along what he learned about building a proper BC/DR plan, testing it, and recording to prove it’s getting done. He’ll also share a few “disasters” where things didn’t go the way they should have, to help you avoid the same pitfalls.

Innovation and Evolution: BC/DR for Today’s Multi-Cloud Environments

  Presented by Unitrends

We are living in a “Less is More” world. In a landscape that’s rapidly changing, IT professionals are managing more work, projects, and risk than ever before. While external threats such as malware and natural disasters cause significant downtime and data loss without proper BCDR implementation, organizations must also be prepared to safeguard from within. Data continues to grow at an exponential rate, and not only on-premises. As cloud-delivered solutions such as IaaS and SaaS are rapidly adopted by an increasing number of organizations, and the workforce itself is becoming increasingly dispersed and mobile, organizations must consider data protection strategies to address gaps in BC/DR outside the traditional data center. Join Adam Marget, Technical Specialist from Unitrends, as we explore the evolving landscape of data protection, cloud’s growing role, BC/DR strategies to safeguard local, remote, and cloud-based workloads, and best practices in planning your DR approach.

A New Era of 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.

7 Steps to Improved Business Continuity

  Presented by Quest Software

Aaron Newsome will kick off the first half of the session discussing:

Steps to Improved Business Continuity

  • Knowing your risks (perform a risk assessment)
  • Know your data & applications (define criticality per application and not all data & apps are created equal)
  • Know your goals, set objectives for each classification
  • Know your tools, review your current capabilities against business requirements
  • Build an in-depth defense, utilize tools to achieve goals

STAY PROTECTED

  • Document your plan, get buy-in and WIN confidence
  • Challenge your plan, test your defense in layers
