TRACK 2: DISASTER RECOVERY
From a facilities view and an operations perspective, building and maintaining a resilient data center is critical to business. In the event of a disaster, both sides of the data center house need to be in order. Sessions in the track will look at the massive amount of work that goes into a fully functional DR plan. These plans not only involve a tremendous effort on the part of data center managers, but executives that must be involved in the planning and testing of these plans.
