Improve your Business Continuity Disaster Recovery
Strategy with Resilient Communications Services

Tuesday November 9, 2010 2:00pm ET 11:00am PT

Unless you are still using backup tapes transported via the sneakernet, network connectivity is probably an important part of your BCDR strategy. Communication services are so important that some businesses use multiple carriers to protect their connections.  Even if you  have redundant communications services from two different carriers, they could be delivering their connections to you using a common path.  There is no protection if you lose your connection because of a fiber cut and both of your carriers use the same cable.

 What if you don’t have the budget for redundant connections? How can you ensure that you have the best protection you can get?

During this webinar, we will highlight some of the key ways that your communications network can support or improve an effective BCDR plan. You will learn how you can improve the resiliency of your network and insure that you have the protection and recovery capabilities needed.

Your BCDR Plan: It’s Only as Effective as the Network that Supports It
Attend the webinar, and receive our free white paper, BCDR: 4 Critical Questions for Your Communications Provider. Learn why your network infrastructure plays a fundamental role in the successful execution of your BCDR plan. Know what four questions you can’t risk not asking. From common points of failure, to network outage reduction and recovery times, this paper provides the guidelines you need to ensure your network infrastructure can effectively and efficiently support your BCDR plan. Also included is a case study based on a national, geographically dispersed company.
