Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for Your Virtual Environment:
A breakfast seminar featuring a discussion on how to build a reliable DR/BC plan for today's virtual infrastructures.

For good reason, most organizations have deployed -- or are actively planning to deploy -- server virtualization technology. Virtualization promises the benefits of consolidation and eases many of the challenges of data center management.

But virtualization also causes a ripple effect across your enterprise -- as consolidated server environments present many data protection challenges involving high availability (HA), business continuance (BC), disaster recovery (DR) and data preservation.

On Wednesday, August 13th, Salt Lake Area IT leaders are invited to take part in a small-group morning seminar on business continuity and disaster recovery challenges in virtualized environments. Join storage expert Greg Schulz and sponsors HP and MSI Systems Integrators at the Hilton Salt Lake City Center for a great breakfast and an exchange of critical information you’ll use to make informed decisions for your IT infrastructure.

Seating is strictly limited, so we encourage you to register right away. Call event coordinator Amanda Lamb at (508) 621-5574 or apply online and Amanda will contact you.

About this Breakfast Seminar

Because server virtualization is so new, the peripheral challenges it creates are uncharted waters for IT managers and CIOs. This seminar affords you the opportunity to get a detailed overview from independent expert Greg Schulz of the risks you face, plus you’ll get ideas on applicable technology solutions from HP and MSI Systems Integrators. Best of all, you’ll network with your IT peers from the Salt Lake area who are right now addressing the same challenges you face.

You’ll walk away with tips on how to optimize your virtualized environment -- including identifying issues, trends and opportunities to improve your data protection, along with addressing PCFE-related issues.

• Changing data and information access patterns
  including Web 2.0
