Applying cloud storage to business continuity protection: definitely not vaporware
|
| |
Thursday, May 28, 2009 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM PDT Duration: 90 minutes |
| |
Applying the latest thinking in cloud storage principles to data retention can offer a significant reduction in capital expenditure. Data backup and restore are the fundamental concepts, and the concept of data archival to tiered storage is now emerging on the scene. But with a client's critical data at risk, you need a bullet-proof strategy before you ditch those tape drives.
VARs, MSPs and IT advisors can create revenue opportunities with cloud-based online data protection services, including the new tiered-storage services. These online backup techniques address the latest compliance regulations and create long-term relationships and multi-year annuity revenue streams for your business.
In this webinar, Storage Guardian will show you how to apply best practices to manage data through its lifecycle, as it ages from operationally critical, to legacy/stagnant, and finally to destruction. You'll learn how a tiered-storage backup approach manages these lifecycle transitions, and how archival storage differs from backup storage. You'll also learn how you can implement this approach for your clients using Storage Guardian's resalable data protection services.
Attend information-rich this seminar if you're interested learning how you can offer your clients enterprise-grade cloud storage services, and understanding why these services are more appropriate for business customers than consumer-grade backup.
