Five Ways to Optimize Data Protection
across the WAN
- Produced by Riverbed

Data protection by its very nature requires moving a lot of your data to an offsite location far enough away that it's safe from a regional catastrophe. You can do this by sending backup tapes offsite, backing up across the WAN, or replicating data to other datacenters. These approaches vary wildly in cost, complexity, reliability, and security, and have differing dependencies on your storage, servers, applications, and networking.

In this latest webinar, we will explore how you can significantly improve your recovery point objective (RPO) and recovery time objective (RTO) by eliminating bottlenecks in WAN performance. Whether you want to protect more, recover faster, or cut costs, WAN optimization from Riverbed can deliver better results for your existing data protection strategy or even enable you to re-architect for your dream solution.

• Select the backup and replication strategy that's right
  for you
• Improve data protection without
  increasing costs
• Integrate WAN optimization into your environment
  with ease
• Redesign for better business continuity

Attend this informative webinar. You'll discover why thousands of customers, including the Forbes Global 100, trust Riverbed to bring the world closer.

On-Demand Web Seminar: Beyond Basic Back-up... Disaster Recovery Continuum Webcast
- Produced by Riverbed

Disruptive events don't have to be major disasters to wipe out your business as there is never a good time for a failure of any kind to occur. Whether it is something as minor as a malfunctioning network card or a catastrophic regional disaster that levels not only your data center but also the surrounding roads, bridges, and other infrastructure, when externalities impact your ability to work your business is as risk.

When businesses take adequate protective measures, they can survive even major disasters. But without protective measures, a business can be wiped out by something as trivial as a coffee spill.

Attend this informative webcast sponsored by CA and Riverbed to hear helpful information that can help you understand the need for and how to implement a service disruption continuum beyond basic back-up.

Specifically, attendees at this interactive discussion will learn about:

• The definition of a disruptive event based on the scope of its business interruption
• The impact to business of disrupted services, including data loss/corruption and what data protection measures should be available to mitigate the disruption
• The difference between high-availability problem domains versus a disaster-recovery problem domain and moving beyond those two categories in some disruptive events
• The need for a new model – the service disruption continuum, which addresses the issues related to preserving or restoring service both during and after a disruptive event
• The role of WAN optimization in this new model and its impact on the ability to both prepare for a disruptive event before it happens and recover after the event has occurred

Tune in for a closer look at the service disruption continuum, and how it can help prepare organizations to handle whatever disruptive event may come. Bring your questions for our lively Q&A session following the presentation. Register now so you won't miss out on this chance to learn how to move beyond basic backup with the Disaster Recovery Continuum.
