BUSINESS CONTINUITY AND DISASTER RECOVERY

By Bill Abram

Most businesses think of disaster recovery as strictly a technology issue when, in fact, it's first a business and people issue -- and technology follows from there. Consequently, this program is intended for business managers at all levels, not just technicians. In this program, Bill Abram, president of technology consulting company Pragmatix, discusses the key elements of business continuity and disaster recovery, and provides important information and concepts you can immediately put to use in your business. First, Abram explains why business continuity and disaster recovery planning are important. Next, he covers the two critical factors that drive your business continuity planning: Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Abram continues by describing the four simple elements of a disaster recovery plan. He then discusses what you need to know to implement a solution. Abram concludes the program by examining some lessons learned -- typical issues that have been encountered by clients as they're built and executed their own business continuity and disaster recovery plans.

By watching this program, you will:
  • Understand the one critical reason why every business needs to address business continuity and disaster recovery;
  • Learn the two key factors that need to be considered when developing a business continuity and disaster recovery plan; and

    CISCO STORAGE NETWORKING

    by Bob Scarbrough

    What are the advantages of a storage networking solution? How does Cisco is using storage networking to reduce its data center costs? How will storage networking has evolved at Cisco and how it will improve in the future?

    Data is an important corporate asset, but storing huge volumes of data can be inefficient and expensive. Within Cisco IT, data center costs make up about 50% of IT costs. And storage costs make up about 50% of data center costs. Over the last four years storage requirements have been doubling year over year. Controlling these storage costs have been critical to controlling overall IT costs.

    In recent years, storage area networks or SANs have emerged as the foundation for making stored data more cost effective by improving overall storage utilization and manageability and more accessible by providing a virtual storage pool to support our internal clients' needs for application storage.

    Cisco IT has been migrating all of our direct access storage - that is, storage drives directly connected to application servers - to storage area networks, which are large amounts of storage resources separate from the application servers but connected to them across a special storage network.

    In this program Robert Scarbrough, a Program Manager in Cisco IT, explains the role of Storage Networking within Cisco Systems today.
