Winthrop & Weinstine Stops E-mail Overload With Interwoven | 0000-00-00 | Interwoven |
| Based in the Twin Cities,Winthrop & Weinstine, P.A., is a full-service law firm specializing in corporate law and commercial litigation whose more than 80 attorneys serve clients ranging from individuals and emerging-growth companies to Fortune 500 corporations. Like many firms, Winthrop & Weinstine recently found itself fighting a losing battle against e-mail overload. With no e-mail management system in place, attorneys and secretaries simply left e-mails on the firm's Exchange server, creating silos of vital matter content that could not be searched efficiently or shared across the firm. Interwoven has helped Winthrop & Weinstine pull its Exchange server back from the brink of a potential failure by reducing the volume of stored e-mails, projected to reach 110G, to less than 50G.

The Right Verdict for Top London Lawyers | 0000-00-00 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Established over a century ago, London law firm Kennedys has experienced considerable growth in recent years. While rapid expansion was a sound testament to the success of the business, it brought many problems from an IT perspective because the company's networks just couldn't cope with the sudden increase in headcount and sites. With the mismatch of switches and hubs, the networks failed on an almost daily basis, cutting staff off from vital data and impairing the email. Determined to standardise and simplify its environment, Kennedys installed a network of ProCurve Networking switches and routers with hi-tech dynamic routing that would improve continuity of service and also support its ambitious disaster recovery strategy.

Addressing Privacy Issues During Disaster Recovery | 0000-00-00 | Disaster Resource Guide |
| Businesses possess a staggering amount of private and Personally Identifiable Information (PII), not only about their customers, but also about their employees. Under which circumstances and representations was this information collected? How is this information being used? To whom is this information being transmitted? How is this information being stored? Who has access, authorized or not, to this information? Unfortunately, many, if not most, businesses do not know the answers to these questions even under normal business circumstances. The first order of business following a disaster of any size or type is typically to get the most critical parts of business going again as soon as possible.

DB2 UDB Log Shipping in a Disaster Recovery Solution | 2006-08-01 | IBM |
| This is a Disaster Recovery solution which avoids having the source site as a single point of failure by physically duplicating the production environment at a remote location. This solution would apply to any customer with critical business applications that need to continue to run in the event of a catastrophic incident at the primary location. In the event of failure the customer would be able to quickly switch over their business applications to run at the standby site. This paper addresses the database implementation and support issues in an environment that uses Log Shipping, PPRC - XD (Peer to Peer Remote Copy Extended Distance) and FlashCopy in order to provide remote standby databases.

Do Your Business Continuity Plans Cover Home Workers? | 2006-07-25 | JupiterMedia |
| Organizations concerned with surviving a disaster have undertaken Business Continuity Planning (BCP). Studies have shown that without adequate planning, some organizations will not be able to continue operations. Indeed, BCP is should be performed by all organizations with the time and resources invested commensurate with the risks and constraints of the organization. In cases like the Avian Flu pandemic risk or something else that would keep workers from reporting to the office, the response of many organizations is to have their personnel work from home utilizing personal, or even company-funded, high-speed Internet connections.

HP AlphaServer Technology Helps Commerzbank Tolerate Disaster on September 11 | 0000-00-00 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| While most large organizations today have plans for Disaster Tolerance (DT), few have to put them to the test. The North American headquarters of Commerzbank, located less than 100 yards from the World Trade Center in New York City, put its DT plan into action on September 11, 2001. Because Commerzbank relies on OpenVMS wide-area clustering, volume shadowing and AlphaServer GS160 systems from HP, the bank was able to function on September 11 because its critical banking applications continued to run at the primary site and were available from the bank's remote site.
