"The Hidden Costs of Protecting Virtual Environments" features Whitehouse and Bocada CEO Nancy Hurley revealing recent research results that indicate how organizations are protecting virtual servers today and future trends; the top challenges users face managing snapshots and backups; and how protecting virtual machines can increase administrative and capital costs and how those can be reduced.
"We recently surveyed IT professionals as to the issues they face in protecting business-critical data and found that a significant number of them find that backup and recovery processes for virtual servers is among their top data protection challenges," said Whitehouse. "This webinar seeks to inform attendees about the hidden costs and concerns faced by many organizations to show that they are not alone in the challenge of effectively managing backups within virtual environments as well as highlight solutions that will help them successfully overcome these challenges."
In addition to discussing the survey results, Bocada Product Marketing Manager Ralph Wynn will be showing Bocada Vision, the market's first Data Protection Service Management solution providing in-depth analysis of data protection activity in virtual environments. The demonstration of Bocada Vision will show users how they can quickly and easily assess the recoverability of VMs, gain immediate visibility into VM data protection results, track VM backup and snapshot capacity analysis and view the performance impact of backups.
"As companies continue their march into adoption of virtualized environments, they find new challenges meeting them in regards to how they backup and restore their data compared to their tried-and-true physical infrastructures," said Wynn. "By showing that there is a way to effectively manage data protection of virtual machines through in-depth reporting of their entire data protection landscape, IT managers will have a better understanding as to how to quickly and easily rectify any issues they face."
Bocada Vision is available as a standalone module within Bocada Prism, a service management application that was purpose built to help organizations move through the DPSM model, a multi-phase set of best practices to ensure cost-effective delivery of data protection services to customers. Bocada leveraged years of customer experiences to create a workflow-driven, intelligent analysis solution with built in SLA impact analysis, change tracking, trend analysis and a searchable knowledge base to ensure organizations can meet business goals and improve operational efficiencies.
