Virtualisation of servers and storage is becoming an increasingly important part of today’s IT strategy. The benefits are clear – lower costs, greater flexibility and reduced management overheads.
But virtualisation can mean new approaches are needed in other areas – not least in how data is stored, archived and retrieved. For example, backup technologies have traditionally used untapped server capacity to protect data without interrupting day-to-day activity – but in a virtual environment there is less spare capacity. What lessons have early adopters learned, and how can these challenges be overcome?
In this Computing web seminar, in association with EMC, we examine the emerging best practice for protecting critical data in a virtualised environment. Our panel of experts will discuss the latest tools and technologies – and answer your questions on this increasingly important topic.
