Effective disaster recovery planning is critical for businesses - catastrophic data loss can be crippling. Only 6% of companies that experience major disasters survive, and 51% close up shop within two years, according to researchers at the University of Texas*. Disaster recovery planning is hardly a new concept, but the apparently tried and tested methods do have significant flaws. This Thursday at 12:00 PM EDT, our CEO, storage industry veteran Andres Rodriguez, will be hosting a webinar to explore the pros and cons of the leading disaster recovery models. Andres will help participants understand the disaster recovery tools out there today, and show you how to protect your mission-critical data from potential catastrophes.
Whether you’re talking about actual natural disasters, software corruption, hardware failure, or simple human error, traditional disaster recovery (DR) planning techniques – tape, disk or a combination of tape & disk – don’t always protect against irretrievable data loss. Disks fail. Tapes can be lost in transit. Data can be corrupted or take far too long to restore.
This Thursday’s webinar is part of a larger effort here at Nasuni to help businesses explore some of the realities of disaster recovery models, and take a look at more effective solutions. Last week we released our list of the top 5 factors any enterprise should consider when choosing a DR model. We also discussed the many benefits of using the cloud for DR – a subject Andres will review in detail in the webinar - and we showed just how easy it is to set this up with the Nasuni Filer as your gateway to the cloud.
Interested in protecting your business data? There’s still time to sign up - the webinar will take place this Thursday, August 12th, at 12:00 PM EDT. All you need is an Internet connection and either headphones or a set of speakers, so reserve your spot now!
