Continuous availability computing in a 24x7 world
The summit features practical lessons and insights from companies that have achieved ‘five nines,’ or 99.999 percent network availability, and from leading analyst firms such as Forrester, IDC, and others. End-user speakers will be drawn from international firms and agencies in areas such as manufacturing, telecommunications, utilities, banking, public safety, etc. to present at more than 30 breakout sessions on March 26 and 27. They will speak on topics including: security breaches; building infrastructures with no single point of failure; information lifecycle management to meet regulatory requirements; and holistic approaches to continuous availability. In addition to the breakout sessions and keynote speeches, the Continuous Availability Summit 2007 includes a panel discussion on virtualization moderated by an IDC analyst, and an exhibition of continuous availability solutions. The Summit is intended to provide non-partisan advice on achieving 99.999 percent availability. That issue promises to grow more important as businesses rely on technology systems to generate revenue and meet customer expectations for 24x7 service. Summit sponsors currently include Microsoft, Alaric, Postilion, Sightline and DRA. Dell is providing Internet kiosks for attendees' use. TechTarget is the exclusive media sponsor.
