Transforming Backup and Recovery for the Future
Backup and Recovery is undergoing perhaps the most significant evolution it has seen to date. Data deluge, budget constraints and a shift to virtual environments is accelerating the need to transform the way we backup and restore data. Now more than ever, companies are looking to next-generation backup solutions to not only address today's most pressing problems such as shrinking backup windows and reliable recovery but also provide a scalable foundation for the future. For help, companies are increasingly turning to disk-based backup solutions that provide seamless integration between software and storage, leverage the power of data deduplication and offer network-efficient replication. But no two companies are exactly alike in their environments and challenges, so how do you know what the right approach or solution is for you? This program is intended to help you answer this question and begin to scope a plan that will meet your business objectives. Gartner's Dave Russell will talk about the key market trends shaping today's backup and recovery landscape; William "BJ" Jenkins, president, EMC Backup Recovery Systems, will take a closer look at customer challenges and explain where EMC is headed in backup and Lucas Wagenaar, vice president of IT for Sysco Corp., will speak to the importance of backup transformation and how Sysco benefited from the move to next-generation backup and recovery solutions.
