Addicted to SAN? How to avoid excess costs in disaster recovery planning
Vision Solutions

Today, every storage, backup or virtualisation solution vendor offers some form of replication tool, and each tool has a niche in the market. Yet many of these require matching source and target hardware and high capacity bandwidth, or can only support part of your physical or virtual estate. As budgets continue to be cut or frozen and hardware cycles get longer, how can you ensure that you have the right solution to support what you have now and what you will have in the future, and how can you avoid vendor lock-in giving you greater flexibility and negotiating power as you move forward?

This presentation will cover how organisations can look at new ways to apply technology to reduce their storage costs, including using different vendor storage platforms together for greater cost efficiency, cutting storage migration times and re-using existing storage hardware for disaster recovery.
