When MTV first appeared on air, the first video it played was, “Video Killed the Radio Star.” Fast forward a few decades and I have to wonder if automation is killing the engineering. In the early days of virtualization the administrators were expected to be proficient via the command line… Virtualizing Business Critical Applications: Data Protection A major aspect of virtualizing any business critical application is data protection which encompasses not only backup, but disaster recovery, and business continuity.

Not only do we need backups, but… Move to the Cloud: Wait Out the StormMove to the Cloud could be the simple choice of providing as needed DR capability, but always remember the cloud is not the data owner and therefore not responsible for your data, so you must get it "There and Back Again" Data Protection is NOT just about BackupData Protection is not just about backup these days, but instead concentrates on two all important concepts for a business: disaster recovery and business continuity.

Quorum BC-V: Disaster Recovery for the SMBOne of the major benefits of virtualization for enterprises has been that through virtualization disaster recovery (DR) has become much easier and more cost effective to implement.
