Virtualization: Enabling Disaster Recovery for the Masses

Learn how virtualization technologies have dramatically altered the landscape for disaster recovery.  Discover the tremendous benefits users can achieve by integrating virtualization throughout the infrastructure stack - servers, networks, and storage - to provide a low-cost, easy-to-implement and manage disaster recovery solution that is now affordable to everyone!

Steve Duplessie, Senior Analyst and Founder of Enterprise Strategy Group, will discuss how server virtualization technologies such as VMware have enabled many small, medium, and large organizations to implement open systems disaster recovery in much the same way that mainframe shops have enjoyed for years.

Dave DuPont, CEO of SANRAD, will share the benefits and best practices around storage network virtualization, including solutions optimized for virtual server environments.  Disaster recovery does not have to be difficult or expensive.

Eric Nelson, Director of Information Technology and CIO of St. Joseph Healthcare, will discuss the disaster recovery challenges the hospital faced and ways to overcome key obstacles, such as vendor lock-in and high costs in a virtualized environment.

  • Building a Greener Fleet Program That is Safe, Affordable, and Keeps Drivers Happy

    Do you want to reduce the environmental impact of your company cars and trucks without sacrificing your safety standards or driver satisfaction? Have you been searching for more ways to reduce your fleet costs?

    In a recent survey of fleet managers, 77% percent said they had been asked by someone in their organization about the environmental impact of their fleet. More and more companies are taking a closer look at fleet emissions and looking for ways to reduce that impact. Combined with that initiative, fleet managers are being challenged to find new and innovative ways to cut fuel use without raising cost.

     

    In this webinar, you will learn how fleet managers from two very different fleets were able to reduce emissions, cut costs and keep their drivers happy. They will share best practices appropriate for any fleet and provide guidance on how to start building a program at your company.

     

    Key takeaways:

     

    • Best practices for implementing a program to reduce fleet greenhouse gas emissions
    • How to work with your environmental department
    • How to sell proposed fleet changes to sales leadership and to individual drivers
    • Different strategies for communicating changes to drivers

    THIS PROGRAM IS INTENDED FOR:
    • Fleet managers
    • Procurement or sourcing professionals
    • Finance professionals
