In this free seminar, led by
Convergent Computing
Author/Experts Rand Morimoto and
Ross Mistry, Rand and Ross
addresses best practices at
keeping Windows, Exchange, and
SQL operational as close to 24x7
as possible as well as providing
strategies on how to setup these
technologies so you can failover
from your primary data center to
a remote Disaster Recovery site.
Rand and Ross cover in this
seminar:
* Technologies built in to
Windows 2003 R2 that address
system reliability, fault
tolerance, and disaster recovery
(including DFS-R file
replication, Windows clustering,
network load balancing, and
current disk to disk to tape
strategies)
* How to keep Exchange
operational (including Exchange
2003 dialtone recovery, Exchange
2007 cluster continuous
replication, and Exchange 2007
SP1 standby continuous
replication)
* Utilization of SQL high
ability technologies and log
shipping replication for zero
downtime
* Best practices at backing
up and recovering from a failure
of a Windows, Exchange, or SQL
server
* How virtualization
technologies are being leveraged
for server and remote site
recovery strategies
* Use of disk to disk to tape
backup strategies
Key areas of discussion include
the following:
* Leveraging New Technologies
to Meet Business Continuity
Goals: Practical advice on how
to create attainable Service
Level Agreements (SLAs) and to
plan for minimal or no down
time.
* Protecting Against Failure:
Learn about specific strategies
that provide protection against
failures in server systems (hard
drives, power supplies, error
correcting memory) and improve
data recoverability of
applications
* Proactive Monitoring:
Identify controllable failures
before they occur rather than
reacting after they occur
* Strategies for Migration:
Understanding where the new
technologies from Microsoft
provide built-in high
availability and disaster
recovery technologies that might
make sense to upgrade to the
latest product from Microsoft to
get the built-in capabilities
desired.
