During lean times, it is easy for organizations to slash, downsize or delay “non-essential” initiatives like disaster recovery planning. But you know how essential a well-planned and tested DR plan is. So we’re bringing to you a free seminar that will (a) provide information to help you firm up your existing plan, (b) examine the process in different ways – and (c) help you prove the inherent value to the C-suite. Often times disaster recovery plans tend to focus on technology “bolt-on’s” designed to replicate data and infrastructure. Little attention is paid to building in recoverability – into business processes and their technological support systems – so to prevent the predominant form of interruption events: those related to data management. This three part program seeks to reset the focus of disaster recovery and business continuity planning to embrace disaster prevention and to build in recovery from those disasters that cannot be prevented. Toigo will explain the best ways to make sure the data coming into a storage environment has the best chance of being recovered to a usable form, should disaster strike. He'll cover data classification modeling and the rigorous testing schedule companies should apply to all DR plans and systems. When you bring a maverick of the storage world like Jon William Toigo to speak about disaster recovery planning, the one thing that you don't have to worry about is him speaking his mind. Toigo "calls them like he sees them" and as you can tell from the above quotes, this has resonated well with your peers. Toigo delivers sessions focusing on the following topics:

Why you should attend:Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity Planning has become a Front Office front burner issue in many companies as a function of both regulatory compliance requirements around data protection and common sense perception of the need to protect critical business processes and the data that support them. Unfortunately, much of the discussion of planning tends to focus on technology “bolt on’s” designed to replicate data and infrastructure. Little attention is paid to building in recoverability – into business processes and their technological support systems – so to prevent the predominant form of interruption events: those related to data management. This three part program seeks to reset the focus of disaster recovery and business continuity planning to embrace disaster prevention and to build in recovery from those disasters that cannot be prevented.
