The best metric for measuring business resiliency is "time to data" —the amount of time required to restore access to business critical data assets to business decision-makers. This hour provides the latest information on data protection technologies and provides best practices for applying appropriate protection services to data assets.

Attendees will learn:

• The three elements of effective data protection strategy: how to discern the criticality of business data assets, how to match protection services to data based on asset criticality and how to manage data asset recovery should a disaster occur
• Techniques for classifying the data asset
• Techniques for protecting data in place and for replicating it for recovery: hype and hope
• The role of intelligent archiving in business continuity
• Challenges to (and solutions for) managing complexity in data protection and replication processes
• Infrastructure W"wrappers" and other failover strategies
