9:00am – 9:50am: Value of Investment – Balancing Data Corruption, Disaster Recovery, and Cost
For decades, enterprises have worked to get their Recovery Point from days, to hours, to seconds.

11:10am – 12:00pm: Disaster Recovery is a Business Strategy – And It’s Not Optional
When it comes to disaster recovery, the tech doesn’t matter. It’s all about how you use it. It’s no secret that your organization’s profitability depends on both its IT infrastructure and business processes staying online. Since data loss and downtime have a direct impact on financial performance, disaster recovery is more than just an IT problem. It should reach across clouds, SaaS platforms, server cabinets and into boardroom discussions of strategic business goals.
