How to Define and Implement a Comprehensive
Disaster Recovery/Data Protection Plan
Clayton Williams, Jr., Director,
Technology Audit, OfficeMax
A comprehensive disaster recovery and data
protection plan needs to be your insurance
policy against loss of data. Think of it as
business protection. It should be easy to
understand for all the different stakeholders
including IT and the respective business units.
But how do you know what you should be
protecting and to what level?
In this session attendees will learn:
-
How to define your particular data
protection requirements
-
Which areas should receive priority over
others?
-
What is your acceptable level of risk/loss?
-
How quickly you need to recover?
-
How to understand equate level of downtime
with your organization’s financial exposure

How to Effectively Leverage the Complementary
Technologies in DR and Archiving Environments
Jim Cuff, Vice President, Strategy, Iron
Mountain Digital
The needs for application and data
recoverability, application continuity, credible
archive practices, and discovery readiness are
more urgent than ever. While different
technology solutions may be deployed to handle
these needs, it is important to understand how
these approaches may complement each other.
In this session attendees will learn:
-
How backup and mailbox
management solutions work together to reduce
backup volume & RTO.
-
The advantages of having
email continuity as a “side effect” of your
email archive
-
Characteristics of “content
addressable storage” and how those affect
backup (and access)
-
How file system archiving can
help with backup set size, recovery, and
server migration

How to Map Key Metrics: From Your Key Business
Processes to the Supporting IT Infrastructure
Dan Schauver, Solutions Architect, Laurus
Technologies
While determining a strategy, the disaster
recovery and data protection team should
reference their organization's business
continuity plan which should indicate the key
metrics of Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for various
business processes (e.g. CRM, Supply Chain,
Payroll, etc). The metrics specified for the
business processes must then be mapped to the
underlying IT systems and infrastructure that
support those processes.
In this session attendees will learn:
-
How to map RTO and RPO metrics to the IT
infrastructure
-
How to best determine the most suitable
recovery and data protection strategy for
each system.
-
How to understand the trade-offs between
desired level of data protection and the
cost associated with it
-
How to articulate the results of the process
of mapping RTO an RPO to the infrastructure
