A custom blog featuring conversation highlights from the speakers and attendees at each of the Quantum dinner events. Often categorized as \"disruptive innovations,\" developments in cloud and virtualization technologies can add a layer of complexity to traditional backup operations. To avoid hiccups in keeping up with today’s demands – and to avoid the expensive \'rip and replace\' approach to navigating the changing landscape – organizations must arm themselves with information to ensure a smooth and simple transition to a hybrid storage environment that will scale and adapt to change.rnrnWe\'ve recruited one of the industry\'s foremost experts – Greg Schulz, Founder of the StorageIO – to look at the common pain points related to protecting data in cloud, virtual and legacy environments and suggest the best ways to solve these issues and reduce complexity in the data center. With the right technologies and techniques at your disposal, you can make improvements in the near term - and at the source - without compromising your ability to meet increasingly demanding SLAs. In addition, storage technology experts from Quantum will share insights into how the business environment is changing and how organizations can better align their business goals with IT to protect their most coveted assets: their data.rnrnSessions address how to:rn• Future-proof and protect your prior IT investmentsrn• Protect data across evolving architectures – physical, virtual, private cloud and even public cloudrn• Take advantage of virtualization and cloud technologies where they make sense as part of a comprehensive data protection strategy. Simplify data protection and reduce hardware requirements across distributed sites. Improve your ability to recover virtual data and improve SLAs – restoring VM’s in minutes not hours!
