Hearing
A Dial Tone When The Wind And Rain Die-Down Companies
continue to invest in educational programs and technologies for
disaster recovery and response. One area given a majority of the
attention has been communication, specifically emergency response
communications. Using an IP-based satellite network for restorative
communications provides personnel with a robust system for uninterrupted
communications in the most extreme circumstances. With satellite,
communications can be up and running in a matter of hours. Hear
an overview of the technology, explore situations where the technology
is applicable and learn about the use of satellite for restorative
communications in the 2003 California Wildfires.
The
Changing World of Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery for
Healthcare Organizations Most
healthcare organizations have taken great strides over the last

recovery programs. Every industry has its challenges, and this
presentation will address how to overcome many of the challenges
associated in developing or improving BC/DR Programs for healthcare
organizations from first-hand knowledge. Learn practical advice
and tested tips for fine tuning a hospital BC/DR program including

The
Role of Virtualization in Highly Available Architectures and for
Business Continuity “Virtualization”
is one of the new industry buzz words. The product and service
offerings built around it are changing the way IT does business.
Virtualization touches everything from the data storage to business
level processing. But virtualization also adds another architectural
and operational level to those processes that protect the business
from disruptive events. This presentation reviews the various
virtualization techniques to develop a conceptual frame work for
deploying virtualization to support highly available architectures
and BC strategies. The scope includes application for both local
and remote recovery scenarios.
Surviving
the 2004 Hurricane Season During
the 2004 hurricane season, Ned Davis Research Group, comprised
of two affiliates, Ned Davis Research, Inc. in Venice, Fla. and
Davis, Mendel & Regenstein in Atlanta, Ga. declared a disaster
three times. With clients in more than 30 countries relying on
essential information on financial markets, the firm needed to
be prepared. They needed to instill confidence with customers,
mitigate risk and develop a framework for accelerating growth
and promoting a competitive advantage. Luckily they worked with
a service provider to build and rehearse a comprehensive approach.
Learn about the importance of having an updated BC plan; what
it means to declare a disaster; the impact the declarations had
on customers and the experience of declaring three times giving
“practice-practice-practice” a new meaning. Discussion
will include a step-by-step plan that helped the firm act quickly
and appropriately when the hurricanes hit.

Exodus: The Movement of Data Off-Site As
businesses continue to face rising storage management costs and
increasingly stringent regulations for data protection and accessibility,
the value of remote data protection continues to grow. In turn,
