Modern IT leaders must look beyond their traditional enterprise data center and the cloud to cost-effectively support the disaster recovery needs of their organization. In addition to cost, speed and agility are now key to assuring DR infrastructure can keep pace with the dynamic demands of production workloads. Come hear how enterprises are leveraging colocation in an on-demand data center to cost-effectively implement an off-premise DR environment.
