I will be at  ZertoCon<\/a>, a newly launched business continuity conference by Navisite partner Zerto. We are a Platinum sponsor, and I\u2019ll be presenting the keynote talk, where I\u2019ll share some insight into just how much DR has changed in the last five years, and I\u2019ve invited our partner OSHEAN onto the stage with me to share some details on implementations that they have completed for their clients. It\u2019s exciting to have an event like ZertoCon come onto the scene especially as BCDR<\/a> and its impact on IT are becoming a top priority for businesses focused on migrating complex workloads to the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s organizations have to the deal with many challenges (natural disasters, human error, cyber attackers, hardware failure) when it comes to storing and managing critical business data. The reality is that businesses are grappling with an unprecedented influx of data and new IT requirements brought on by emerging forces like the Internet of Things (IoT) and the industry\u2019s growing reliance on digital devices. Gartner predicts there will be 6.8 billion connected devices in use this year, leaping to 20 billion connected devices in 2020. With this pace of change the importance of IT agility, resiliency and preparedness has never been so important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a cloud provider, we are seeing a pressing need to provide solutions that meet clients\u2019 needs for flexibility, security, scalability and business continuity, while also reducing the amount of time and resources spent to manage the systems. In working with Zerto, Navisite\u2019s Disaster Recovery solution addresses the complicated task of operating and managing replication on-premise VMware environments to the cloud. Working jointly, Navisite and Zerto are setting the standard for the protection, recovery and migration of data in the cloud and virtualized data centers in hybrid, private and public clouds. Navisite and Zerto have a shared commitment to bringing reliable and budget friendly DR-as-a-service (DRaaS) to our clients and that\u2019s something we are very proud of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ZertoCon myself and our partner OSHEAN will be giving a presentation on business resiliency, addressing everything from basic continuity to security, high-level risk management, crisis management and more. While I don\u2019t want to give too much away, I will share a few pointers on how businesses can build a strong BCDR foundation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
