Enterprise Strategy Group Discusses Virtualization Enabling Disaster Recovery for the Masses with CIO of Major Hospital and SANRAD CEO

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – June 4, 2008 – Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst of Enterprise Strategy Group, and Dave DuPont, CEO of SANRAD Inc., discuss how virtualization can enable disaster recovery (DR) for the masses in an informative on-demand webinar available online at http://www.xtalks.com/virtualization.ashx.

Eric Nelson, CIO and Director of IT for St Joseph Healthcare, also shares practical advice and best practices for IT peers in the new virtualization age.

Server virtualization is a new paradigm which will re-shape overall IT priorities and storage practices. The new sprawl of virtual servers, combined with server mobility, will disrupt traditional backup and data protection processes while demanding careful attention to disaster recovery (DR) plans.

Eric Nelson represents a new breed of CIO who proactively plans and reaps the full benefit of a total integrated virtual infrastructure (servers, networking, storage) while deploying a low-cost, robust disaster recovery solution for the enterprise. His case study includes how to achieve high availability so that both the data center and DR site can be full production sites running day-to-day operations to maximize ROI. Eric also discovered an easy, cost-effective solution to implement heterogeneous SANs without vendor lock-in, thereby saving the hospital over $300,000 in hardware costs alone.
