Abstract: Ensuring the continuity of your business means being prepared for the unpredictable with nimble infrastructure that’s resistant to catastrophe and able to recover quickly when disaster strikes. A cloud-based disaster recovery (DR) plan can provide cost-effective business continuity options to enterprises of all sizes. In this presentation, iland will present case studies that show real examples of the cloud computing solutions described. We can also provide demonstrations of key solutions including software-based and SAN-to-SAN data replication, standby resources, and transatlantic replication.
