During this 45 minute presentation, you will hear how the journey to the Cloud is likely to have many similarities to the virtualisation journey many companies have already taken. And look at the requirement for a successful disaster recovery plan within your business.  We will discuss some of the economic reasons why Cloud computing can make sense and the potential costs associated with disaster recovery planning. 

Lastly, we will describe the requirements for Recovery-as-a-Service and how it can work within your business.
