Re-Thinking Data Protection:

Deploying Unified Disk-Based Strategies from the Data Center to the WAN

You’re invited to attend this free breakfast seminar featuring practical, objective advice from storage and data protection expert Greg Schulz. Spend just one morning, and walk away with an understanding of different approaches to data protection that will efficiently and consistently protect not just your data center, but also remote offices.

Seating is limited, so be sure to submit your application for admission today.

This seminar is sponsored by Datalink, NetApp and Riverbed.

About This Free Seminar for IT Professionals

Most data protection and DR strategies focus almost exclusively on the mission critical systems managed within the data center. It is rational to assume that it would be too costly and complex to include data from remote offices and Wide Area Networks (WANs) in your plan.

There are a variety of separate approaches to protecting data “on the edge” – but most approaches get inadequate attention in terms of resource allocation and come up short on reliability (not to mention compliance).

This seminar is designed to explore practices you can integrate into your data protection and DR planning that not only protect the WAN – but also build efficiencies and reliability into your data center and across your infrastructure.

Spend a morning at this free breakfast seminar and find out about strategies and technologies that can be successfully deployed for an integrated data protection strategy – one that creates efficiencies by applying consistent technologies across your enterprise – from more reliable data center backup and recovery to getting remote data back to your data center to best practices in moving data to DR sites.

At this seminar, you’ll learn how to overcome these common challenges:

Architecting an affordable DR plan that adequately protects both remote site and local data
Meeting stringent recovery point and recovery time objectives
Better managing the backup and recovery architecture--improving the performance and operational efficiency and lowering the TCO
Consolidating local and remote site backup and recovery
Increasing disk utilization in the backup and DR process

You’ll get Greg Schulz’ take on the issue – based on his extensive work in the field. Plus, you’ll hear from experts at solution provider Datalink on how you can solve your challenges with innovative technologies from companies such as NetApp and Riverbed.

Again, space is limited and we will stop accepting applications once the seminar registration is full. To claim your seat, apply online today or call Delegate Relations Representative Amanda Lamb at (781) 657- 1792.
