DR Checklist: 10 Reasons Why Your DR Plan May Fail 2006-09-21 01:00:14 CA (Computer Associates)

The Disaster Recovery (DR) vision is a scenario in which all disasters are withstood; using a well-crafted plan, operations are transferred to a remote facility to get the organization back online within Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) targets. But this is pure fantasy for most companies. The reality is that if a disaster should occur, nothing short of Herculean efforts by the IT staff would be required to have the slightest chance of getting back online in any reasonable period of time, much less the targeted RTO. This webcast checklist provides a DR reality check.

Validating Your Disaster Recovery Data 2006-09-21 01:00:14 TIBCO Software

This webinar will cover options for, and testing of, disaster recovery data, which includes backups and replicated data.

Microsoft Clusters, High Availability & Extending Protection Offsite: Understanding the Options 2006-09-21 01:00:14 CA (Computer Associates)

True data protection goes beyond local server high availability - a company needs access to information and business-critical applications, period. Companies need to ensure that they are protected from failures such as network outages, power loss, natural disasters, or even data corruption. This webcast will give the listener a technical overview of how XOsoft's HA solution can provide a company with the business continuity they require with application-aware automated failover and failback over LAN or WAN and integrated true CDP technology.

High Availability for Mission Critical Applications and Data in Discrete Manufacturing 2006-09-21 01:00:14 EMC

A critical application fails. The manufacturing line stops ... employees take a coffee break while the business hits the wall. And it's a costly hit. Large manufacturers can lose $1.6 million every hour a mission critical application is down, says a major research firm. EMC high availability solutions for applications meet one's availability and data protection objectives - and the budget.

Improving Vulnerability Management with Penetration Testing 2006-10-04 09:41:27 Core Security

Vulnerability management consists of a combination of technologies and processes that can be used to improve an organization's security posture and to support regulatory compliance initiatives. Security managers commonly use vulnerability assessments to determine the security state of their IT systems. However, changing processes and technologies present a challenge to vulnerability assessment tools, as they can go only so far in detecting potential attack paths. In addition, changes in technology and business processes are reducing vulnerability assessment effectiveness even further.

According to Gartner*, deeper penetration testing is now needed to augment existing vulnerability management processes, especially in light of the rising level of targeted attacks.

During this on-demand Webcast, you'll hear from:

John Pescatore, from featured analyst firm Gartner, who discusses the overall state of security, including recent attack trends

Alan Paller of the SANS Institute, who provides insights on how penetration testing can be used to mitigate the impact of these trends

Alan Paller also interviews A. Eben Berry, Director of Network and Security Infrastructure from BlueCross BlueShield of Massachusetts, about why repeatable testing of security defenses is a high priority for his organization.

Webcast: Protect Your MSCS Clusters with Offsite Data Replication 2006-09-15 15:34:17 CA XOsoft

Shared storage clusters such as Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) clusters provide excellent protection from server and application failures. But clusters represent just one layer of resiliency in your data protection strategy. They can't defend your data against many other types of threats, including:

Virus outbreaks

Storage device failures

Power or cooling outages

Fire, floods, or other disasters

Human error

Offsite data replication covers these and other contingencies, but how can it protect your MSCS clusters themselves? That is the question that's explored in this TechRepublic Webcast, sponsored by CA XOsoft and now available on demand.

You'll hear from Bruce Johnson, Administrator of Mail & Directory Services at Boston Properties, one of the largest office property management firms in the United States. To maintain its reputation for being extremely responsive to its tenants' needs, Boston Properties must ensure that its clustered Exchange servers are up and running 24x7. And the way Johnson achieves that is by using CA XOsoft's off-site, cluster-aware, high-availability solution with built-in continuous data protection (CDP) technology.

You'll also hear from Eric Jackson, Strategic Product Advisor to CA XOsoft, who explains how CA XOsoft's replication solution closes the gaps in protection left by MSCS shared storage clusters-without the need to make any configuration changes to your existing clusters.

Be in Control - Tap Into the Power of Symantec Ghost's Hardware and Software Inventory 2006-09-08 01:00:28 Symantec

In this webcast, the viewer will learn how to leverage the Symantec Ghost console to see what inventory data is collected; discover different ways of working with and customizing inventory data; discover how to target machines for migration; and learn how to setup inventory to create and manage computers in dynamic groups.

The Real Deal: Protecting Your Windows Systems 2006-09-08 01:00:28 Symantec

Windows plays a major role in keeping the business running and the employees productive. Every day, a person may face myriad challenges, including backing up mission-critical data, protecting users from viruses and other "Malware", and keeping the customer information and other intellectual property from falling into the wrong hands. This webcast will explore these and other challenges that Windows-centric IT shops face, discussing the evolution of threats, both internal and external, and strategies for ensuring that the data is protected even as new threats emerge on a daily basis.

Uncovering Inappropriate Access to Critical Systems 2006-09-08 01:00:28 Symantec

Demonstrating compliance around data protection and privacy mandates require proactive management of access control, or more simply, an individual needs to know and control exactly who has access to what piece of data in the environment. While many organizations will embark on multi-year, multi-million dollar Identity Management projects, the viewer can come learn how a program of effective management of access and identity incidents and events can meet the organization's burden of due care.

Webcast: Disaster Recovery for the Real World: Surviving Hurricane Katrina 2006-09-15 15:06:29 CA XOsoft

Are you still relying on tape backups for disaster recovery? Tape backups are important, but when a disaster strikes, you may find that you shouldn't rely on tapes as your only layer of protection.

Listen to this TechRepublic Webcast, now available on demand, to hear Peter Haas, Director of Technology at the Supreme Court of Louisiana, discuss his organization's experience with tape backups during last summer's Hurricane Katrina disaster. Haas' presentation highlights:

The reasons why tape backups alone weren't sufficient to keep Louisiana's highest court operational during the crisis

Lessons learned, and how they influenced the court's decision
to include a remote-site, real-time data replication service

Tips for evaluating and implementing a complete disaster
recovery (DR) solution

You'll also hear from David Aschmann, Product Manager for CA XOsoft, who offers an overview of CA XOsoft's hardware-agnostic, comprehensive disaster recovery and high availability solutions and how they can complement your current DR plan.
