Time: 12:00 PM EDT

You recognize the advantages of cloud recovery. You’re ready to get started. But before you jump in, there are a number of questions you should ask and changes you should prepare for.
What are the cost implications, and what level of performance will you get? Will transitioning to a cloud-based recovery solution speed up your recovery? Should you do it yourself or partner with a provider? Should you recover in a service provider’s environment or to the public cloud? What about your work loads running in a public cloud?
In this presentation, we’ll take an in-depth look at these and other key factors to consider when adopting a cloud recovery strategy.

Why do you, as a continuity planner or resiliency SME, need to know what an EMP is? Do you need to worry about it? Prepare for it? What if our nation’s power went out and stayed out for 6 months or a year? What if phones stopped working? What if all motor vehicles stopped running?
