Protect Apps, Not Just Data: Enterprise-class BC/DR in a Virtual Environment

Dave Simpson, Analyst, The 451 Group; Mark Montagna, The Philadelphia Contributionship; Gil Levonai, VP of Products, Zerto
Enticed by the promise of greater availability and flexibility at a reduced cost, enterprises are virtualizing tier-one, mission-critical applications now more than ever. Those applications are typically comprised of several virtual machines, span servers and storage arrays, have aggressive service-level agreements (SLAs), and require robust, effective and automated failover and failback. Unfortunately, traditional business continuity/disaster recovery (BC/DR) approaches are complex, rigid and inflexible, and IT departments have struggled to protect these applications in a virtual environment.

Want to learn how to mitigate data loss, minimize RPOs and RTOs, and ensure a high degree of service continuity? Join this interactive webinar and discover how to protect your applications, not just your data.

•Leading 451 Group Analyst Dave Simpson will discuss the industry drivers for virtualized mission-critical applications, core challenges of traditional BC/DR approaches, and the key features needed to ensure a robust, yet flexible, BC/DR solution for a virtual environment.

•Gil Levonai, VP of products for Zerto, will quickly highlight a revolutionary technology, hypervisor-based replication, which simplifies enterprise-class BC/DR in a virtual environment.

•Your peer, Mark Montagna, IT Infrastructure Manager for The Philadelphia Contributionship, will share his experience including: previous BC/DR challenges, selection process, the Zerto implementation and resulting benefits.

  • Business Driven Continuous Compliance Recorded: Jun 13 2013 40 mins
    While a key driver for adapting security technologies, compliance is still a huge burden for most organizations. In the presentation we will discuss novel approaches to both lower the cost of compliance and derive relevant business value from the process. Changing the compliance process from a periodical manual process into a continuous automated process ensures real time visibility into your compliance posture as well as the ability to react in real time to compliance issues rather than just after the fact. By overlaying the information collected with your enterprise IT asset model, the real time compliance information can also contribute to business driven risk management and help in making the right investment decisions in information security.
  • Cyber Security Management in a Highly Innovative World Recorded: Jun 13 2013 49 mins
    Cyber attacks are reaching pandemic levels.

  • The New “Denial of Service” Attack: Why You May No Longer be Protected Recorded: Jun 12 2013 49 mins
    There was a time when distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks threatened business operations by simply “flooding the network pipe” with traffic congestion. But that has all changed. Today’s sophisticated and targeted attacks use a multitude of vectors to overwhelm and infiltrate websites and online services – disrupting an enterprise’s online presence and customer’s ability to do business with the company under attack.

    While enterprises once could rely solely on their cloud service providers, ISPs and perimeter security to protect against these attacks, many are just now learning they are vulnerable to the new types of denial of service attacks. Some of these highly targeted attacks are taking down online services while others are being used as a diversionary tactic that is used to distract from an advanced malware attack.

    This presentation will cover examples of high profile, multi vector attacks that use stealth components and application vulnerabilities to shut down or infiltrate an enterprise’s network. Attendees will learn what types of attacks cloud providers and service providers are stopping and what attacks need to be handled on the internal enterprise network. The presentation will also cover a framework that will help organizations move toward a more secure stance against denial of service attacks.
  • Storage Implications for Storing File Data Securely in a Distributed World Recorded: Jun 12 2013 49 mins
    When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
