Enabling the Resilient Enterprise -- Aligning Disaster Recovery and
Business Continuity with Business
Objectives
Eric Ledyard, CTO, AHEAD
Today many corporate IT organizations
find their capabilities have become out
of sync with the needs of the business.
A critical mismatch can exist between
the Recovery Point and Recovery Time
Objectives as compared to the resources
available to meet these objectives.
Business leaders and executives may not
be fully aware of the risks inherent in
their current strategies and
infrastructure needed to keep the
business running.
In this session, attendees will learn a
framework approach to develop
business-aligned strategy, planning and
processes and ensure you have the
opportunity to build and maintain what
the business needs and expects.
Topics covered will include:
·
Evaluating recovery objectives vs.
recovery capabilities
·
Measuring and prioritizing risk the
business chooses to address vs. risk it
chooses to accept
·
Effectively communicating risk to
business leaders and senior executives
·
Determining whether your
Data
Center and Disaster
Recovery strategy can support current
needs and future growth
·
Developing a business-aligned multi-year
strategic roadmap
·
Developing and presenting the business
case to achieve the capabilities
necessary to meet business needs.

Covering Your Apps: Protecting and
Prioritizing Your
Mission
Critical Applications in a Disaster
Mike Peebles, Product Marketing Manager,
Hewlett-Packard
A typical organization has thousands of
Windows applications, each with many
single points of failure (SPOF). This
presentation will address options for
application availability, along with how
to prioritize your applications for
recovery following a disaster. To
evaluate the right solution,
organizations need to identify their
mission critical applications, analyze
the business impact of downtime, and set
specific recovery time objectives. Next,
they need to balance cost v.
availability to design disaster recovery
architectures that are appropriate for
each application tier. Using real world
failure statistics, this presentation
will address best practices for
application availability and disaster
recovery.

Is Disk to Cloud what Tape is to
Disk?
David A. Chapa, Director, DP
Strategy/Global Alliances, NetApp
Data Protection and Business Resiliency
techniques have evolved quite a bit over
the past 10 years. There have been
multiple attempts at moving data
"electronically" to a vault but with
little mainstream adoption, although a
few SMBs have been successful in
pockets. Adding to these challenges is
the belief that not all data is created
equal and therefore should be treated
differently - having the ability to
create QoS for the data based on
specific enterprise requirements.
So how does Cloud Computing impact these
challenges? Does it add clarity or
confusion?
In this session attendees will learn:
-
The impact of cloud computing on
disaster recovery/business
continuity planning
-
The pros and cons of data protection
through the cloud
What type of enterprise is cloud
data protection a best fit for?
What are inherent risks of data
protection through the cloud?
Beyond data, are there other DR/BC
processes that can be driven through
the cloud?
What should your contingency plan be
if your cloud provider goes down?

How to Avoid
Data
Center
Disasters
In the best of times a data center
glitch can be a huge problem. But in a
challenging economic environment the
problem will be exacerbated. IT’s
response within the first fifteen
minutes after an event can have a huge
impact to operations continuity of the
organization. How should you plan and
respond in this environment?
In this session, attendees will learn:
-
How to be even more vigilant
-
How to implement metrics for
efficiency
-
How to cross train staff to
understand the plan
-
How to mitigate unforced errors

Today’s Climate: How to Justify Funds
for Your High Availability Environment
(panel discussion)

Hitachi Data Systems

enterprise IT professionals
As the economy shows signs of
improving, some organizations are
starting to increase spending while
others have not.
Although DR/BC funds should be a top
priority, the reality is that many
projects are competing for limited a
limited IT budget. In DR/BC it can be
difficult to prove ROI with absolute
certainly. There does not appear to be
an obvious correlation between money
invested and dollars earned. As a DR/BC
professional, you know that the ROI is
not having the business go under.
However, you must be able to justify the
dollar investment or the project will
not move forward.
In this session, you will learn sound
strategies and tactics that will help
you with these challenges from seasoned
IT DR/BC
professionals.
