Alliance for Business Continuity & Disaster Prepardness

Bowdoin College is using VMware Infrastructure 3 for enhanced manageability and business continuity for their IT services.

Partnering with Loyola Marymount University in California, Bowdoin has architected an innovative disaster recovery process leveraging the power of virtualization, to allow Bowdoin and Loyola to maintain copies of their virtual infrastructure at each other’s datacenter, in the case of the emergency.

This allows the colleges to enjoy the security benefits of having a strong disaster recovery plan, without the extraordinary cost of maintaining a warm disaster recovery site.

Will Urban, Product Marketing Consultant, and the Dell EqualLogic team conduct a Disaster recovery demo at the Dell booth at VMworld Europe.

For demonstration purposes the two Dell stands on the exhibition floor represented London and Paris offices and the demo goes through the simple a step-by-step process of testing your disaster recovery strategy before you need it. I particularly like the way Will describes an ideal disaster recovery conversation with a CIO and how Site Recovery Manager (SRM) can help you to simply demonstrate that your disaster recovery and business continuity plan is sound, prior to any crisis and without disrupting normal service.
