Panos Hawandjian discusses disaster recovery at the February 2009 1Velocity Breakfast Seminar on Business Continuity. How do you know what is the ‘right amount’ of protection for your business? Even if you know, you still need to balance the solution against the cost and complexity of implementing it. Learn how to collapse your recovery times and eliminate data loss while learning about simpler, intuitive solutions that fits within your existing infrastructure.
