Customers running data centers world wide have some very important requirements:
Data should be always available. Even when servers go down, need is always there to access to the data. Data center should have the flexibility to adapt to changing business needs. That flexibility is required in today's ever changing business environments with new compliance and business agility requirements

Customers need to improve productivity of its assets. Most critical is productivity of its people and of course better utilization of equipment. Increasing asset utilization and increasing employee productivity is very important to keeping costs down. The need to quickly scale as you grow. This has a significant cost impact as customers "pay as they grow".

Topic: Business Continuity Management & Disaster Recovery - The Symantec Perspective

Synopsis:
Making the move from disaster recovery planning to business continuity

"Business continuity" becomes a way to proactively anticipate exposures before failures occur so that measures can be taken to mitigate the losses or prevent their occurrence. This change in attitude, combined with a shift in newer technologies to allow for seamless environments that are not location dependent, has created an opportunity to reexamine what has been a passive approach and change the focus to resiliency of business through Business Continuity Planning.

Topic: Next generation Virtualization Technologies

Synopsis:
Virtualization is the solution to enterprise data related woes. So it is imperative to manage the data explosion & data management.

In a single array, a switch or some other component of the path from application to storage, are always a problem and without virtualization, eliminating them can be prohibitively expensive. Today, maintaining deterministic storage performance for applications is a very complex task. Virtualization offers the opportunity to improve performance, but more importantly it offers the chance to manage performance in real time to maintain guaranteed and measurable QoS. Virtualization is a key enabling technology in making more affordable options for disaster recovery and data archiving available to customers that can’t afford today’s high-end solutions.
