Easy DR with the Cloud - Webcast Series

Over the years true MSPs have had to work diligently to differentiate themselves from companies that are at best, not true MSPs and at worst, are shady fly-by-night operators. This is where the Unified Certification Standard or (UCS) for Cloud & Managed Service Providers comes in.

The UCS was created by a team of dedicated MSPs to address the shortfalls of existing standards like ISO 27001, ITIL, CoBIT, SSAE 16, which were never intended for managed services organizations and offered little in the way of consumer protection.

CASE IN POINT: Many MSPs do NOT fail because of technical deficiencies, but due to financial risk. Because of this, customers have very little insight into the service provider's business practices and financial strengths and capabilities.

Attend this webcast and you will hear from real MSP executives on how the UCS certification and audit has helped them to:

- Win new business
- Provide needed transparency to customers
- Achieve compliance objectives
- Quickly develop trust with customers and prospects
- Provide documentation on how those MSPs deliver their services
- And much more...

Both Cloud and Managed Service Providers should attend this webcast and at least begin to follow the standards necessary to achieve managed services and cloud computing excellence.

Most SMB's use a single point product for each of the different perceived security threats. This has worked in the past, but a far better approach is layering multiple products in a stouter defense.

APIs are a hot topic in all sectors of IT - they have gone from being niche solutions provided by big players like Amazon and Google, to being almost as ubiquitous as corporate websites. Ad hoc API development & evangelism without a formal program can leave real revenue on the table, can unintentionally leak sensitive data, and can tarnish the corporate brand with the development community. Today, developers and partners expect to be engaged with first class API programs, while businesses expect real insights to know which APIs are profitable and which APIs to bring to market next. In this webinar, Intel & Mashery outline the baseline enterprise pillars for constructing a first class API program. Learn from CapitalOne how they strategized to build an API program grounded in core business objectives. All attendees to receive a new Mobile API Buyers Guide that presents how to optimize APIs for mobile apps.

Did you know that natural disasters, such as hurricane or flood only account for approximately 2% of all business disasters while hardware failures and human error account for more than 70%?

Let’s face it: as an IT professional, anything that interrupts normal business operations could form the basis of disaster for you. Just remember: whatever the cause of your interruption, how you prepare to respond that will decide the fate of your business.

So, are you prepared?

In this session, Senior Sales Engineer Chris Brightwell from Kaseya will discuss what a state of the art backup and disaster recovery solution looks like, how you should plan ahead to prevent or mitigate the risks of a disaster and explains the difference between good and bad backup and disaster recovery strategies based on real-life examples.

In this session, we look at the issues with testing and audit. This is the base causes of why we fail to secure systems and how we can more effectively create methodologies that actually find flaws. Penetration tests and audit each have major failings, but when done correctly and with the right incentives, they can help make us more secure. When done poorly, we all suffer.

Zac Streelman, Manager, Information Technology at Leupold and Stevens was looking for a disaster recovery (DR) solution that would extend the flexibility of virtualization to his DR environment. The solution had to deliver enterprise-class support for his mission critical applications: Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint and various CAD programs. The board of directors was specifically asking what the current solution was and what service levels could the infrastructure deliver.
Zerto Virtual Replication installed seamlessly into their existing infrastructure, did not require any data center updates and is fully integrated into VMware vCenter.

With Zerto Virtual Replication he was able to:
- Realize very aggressive service levels – recovery point objectives of seconds and recovery time objectives of minutes
- Deliver a better ROI with a DR solution that is hardware agnostic
- Increase team productivity with a very simple solution
- Quickly cross-train additional staff on DR processes and procedures
- Optimize flexibility as changes to the environment required changes to the DR strategy
- Test and validate the DR failover process without taking primary production systems offline
