"Jon [William Toigo] brings a lot of common sense to the DR approach—it is very simple, but very effective."

"It's great to meet other people who do the same things I do in the area. And Toigo's talking about some great information here."

"The honest opinions about the different technologies is what I appreciate the most. There's also a lot of great insight as to what's ‘real' and what's not."

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.

This year, Toigo is back with a completely updated seminar that will provide storage managers and DR planners with an inside look at what makes a solid DR plan. Often times disaster recovery plans are shrouded in secrecy. While keeping plans under wraps may be good to keep individual businesses covered, it makes understanding and learning what the common DR best practices are very difficult.

This seminar exposes the secrets and brings best practices and ways to achieve a cost-effective DR plan into light. 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 leave the seminar you'll have a DR certification from Toigo's Data Management Institute.
