2:30-3:00 p.m. Protecting a NYC-based Mid-Market Business in the Wake of Catastrophe: How EvensonBest Implemented Leading-Edge Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery Practices after Surviving 9/11, Power Grid Failures and Building Outages
Martin Silverman
, Director, IT, EvensonBest

A NYC-based furniture distributor EvensonBest LLC has implemented business continuity & disaster recovery measures more extensive than many businesses of its size, ensuring users can continue working and critical information is not lost during unplanned outages or catastrophic events. The proactive measures include installing CDP software to ensure users can continue working and critical information is not lost during unplanned outages or catastrophic events. 

In this session, attendees will be presented with:

  1. An overview of what disaster preparedness entails.  Not just recovering servers, but also, availability of both on-line and paper-based data resources, telephone resources, as well as the logistics of how to keep displaced workers productive and functional.
  2. A variety of disaster recovery planning options, including data replication, server cloning, server virtualization, desktop virtualization, cloud computing and more.
  3. Real-world tricks (that they won't learn anywhere else) that proved invaluable and kept my company running during the 9/11 disaster.
  4. And will learn to think and react if and when a disaster actually occurs, when the pressure is on and failure unthinkable.
