        Recovery"

With offices and project teams dispersed across the country and around the globe, IT departments are moving more aggressively to protect data and improve the efficiency of backup and recovery processes. Natural disasters in recent years have prompted a renewed sense of urgency; many firms have experienced the crippling effects of no data access for days or weeks, and painfully slow recovery windows and tape backup over the wide area network. In this session, learn how one of the largest full service law firms in Florida, with 200 attorneys and more than 550 employees in 10 offices throughout Florida and Venezuela, improved and streamlined its backup and replication processes after four hurricanes hit Florida in 2004.
