Title	Setting the Boundaries: Business Continuity in a Virtual World
Seminar Overview	Virtualized servers, shared storage, bandwidth optimization, recovery with minimal downtime - are all intricately related and central to any discussion of enterprise-class business continuity planning. The workshop will provide a “state-of-the-art” overview of these critical components with presentations centering on best practices as well as newest technology. Announcements by VMware have been coming in a steady stream of late, and our panel will strive to put them in context. Riverbed’s recent rollout of client-based communications solutions adds to what is already one of the strongest WAN optimization stories on the market. End-users in every segment of the market are evaluating iSCSI as a shared storage option: LeftHand Networks - one of the original iSCSI pioneers - will discuss IP convergence in the data center and relate it directly to virtual environments. In conclusion, Synegi’s CTO will draw on his 200+ DR implementations in a roundtable discussion of the trade-offs involved with setting RTO and RPO objectives.
