By its very nature, the unexpected is hard to predict. Particularly difficult to plan for are compound events, the domino effect in which one seemingly minor incident leads to cataclysmic chain reaction which brings everything grinding to a halt.

The real job of a disaster recovery strategy is to ensure that whatever the disruptive event, vital data can be recovered and mission-critical applications be brought back online in the shortest possible timeframe.

During this web seminar we will be looking at the sorts of incidents that can bring data centres grinding to a halt and what can be done about them.

Speakers Include:

Stuart Sumner, Deputy Editor, Computing

Andrew Charlesworth, Consulting Editor, Computing

Mark Galpin, Senior Manager, EMC

Nigel Doust, CEO, Blackbay

Does Google know too much about you?

Google's linked data policy, which came into effect on March 1, allows the company to collect information about its users across all its products, services and websites and store it in one place. This has been criticised by organisations ranging from CNIL to Microsoft, all of whom have expressed concerns that it's difficult to tell which data Google collects and how it's used. Now the Information Commissioner's Office is investigating whether Google's privacy policy is compliant with UK law. Are you worried that Google knows too much about you?
