From the description: IT pros are invited to attend a special free breakfast seminar featuring noted disaster recovery and business continuity expert Jon William Toigo and technology experts from CDW. Business Continuity Planning 2008: Architecting a Reliable Data Management and Protection Plan is being held in select cities to help you address key challenges and opportunities in 2008. You know that bulletproof continuity planning is no longer a “nice to have” – it is a “need to have”. You also know that there are two types of components making up your IT infrastructure: those that have failed and those that will fail. In order to survive, you need to build in continuity across your data center and beyond – to account for servers, storage, applications, databases, virtualization, backup, archiving, remote offices, WANs – the list goes on. At this seminar, Jon Toigo will show what he sees as he works with DR planners at all types of organizations. Toigo will explain how to proactively build failover into your architecture, so can know the answer to the question, “What do I do when XYZ fails?” Toigo will speak in common-sense terms on how he sees IT managers incorporating fresh approaches with fresh technologies. It’s not about always buying the latest and greatest, it’s about getting serious about data protection and data management and having a smart system for testing your plan. And since a good business continuity plan -- by definition -- never gets recognized by anyone outside IT, Toigo will then advise you on how you can get buy-in from management for funding. He will give tips on how to get the attention of the suits so they can’t ignore the need. Finally, experts from the CDW business continuity professional services practice will tell you not only which technologies they are seeing successfully deployed in the field, they’ll also show you examples of how these technologies are being applied and the gains its customers have seen as a result. This is a rare opportunity to get out of the office for a morning, hear the most current advice from the world’s leading expert on business continuity and DR planning – and network with your IT peers.
