CONFERENCE AGENDA
8:00am – 9:00am: Registration and Continental Breakfast
9:00am – 10:00am: Value of Investment – Balancing Data Corruption, Disaster Recovery, and Cost
For decades, enterprises have worked to get their Recovery Point from days, to hours, to seconds. Today, ransomware and data corruption are challenging and forcing enterprises to develop new but often counter-intuitive approaches to business continuity. This session will provide strategies for balancing these conflicts while still allowing for sub-second disaster recovery RPO.
10:00am – 10:30am: Refreshment and Exhibit Break
10:30am – 11:30am: Increasing Your Data Protection Posture: A Pragmatic Approach to Data Center Modernization
Data Center modernization is a journey that begins with a clear vision and strong leadership. Technology leaders of today are challenged with identifying and executing a strategy that reduces complexity and costs, while increasing InfoSec and Data Protection postures. Learn how to leverage a Service Portfolio in support of this vision and create a winning framework for success.
11:30am – 12:30pm: Reducing the Cost of DR and Lowering your Risk Profile
Learn modern strategies on how enterprises can make IT investments available for data replication. This session will present frameworks on how to reduce Recovery Time Objective (RTO) from days to hours, and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) from hours to minutes. This session will give you some ideas how to better build your infrastructure while improving your
Disaster Recovery posture.
12:30pm – 1:30pm: Lunch and Exhibit Break
1:30pm – 2:30pm: Avoiding the “All or Nothing” Fail-Over Approach
In this session, we will cover the following:
- How organizations should intelligently plan for and execute failover of their environment
- How to architect DR environments so they can be utilized for overflow / scale / elasticity instead of simply “lying in wait” for a DR event
- This strategy enables investment in DR to be offset by supporting scale requirements, streamlining the approval process for critical DR environments
Throughout the session we welcome your questions and discussion as we look to provide actionable insights you can immediately apply in your organization.
