HA: Laugh in the Face of Disaster

By Events

Laugh in the face of disaster and unplanned downtime with a solid HA and DR plan. Join us Friday, August 20 at 11:30 AM EST. We’ll be having our *first* hybrid meeting where Mirazon CTO Brent Earls will take us through high availability, disaster recovery and all that’s in between. In-person attendance is limited to 50 seats but virtual attendance will be unlimited!

Brent will cover:

  • Definitions​
  • Continuity​
  • Redundancy​
  • Recovery Point Objectives (RPO)
  • Recovery Time Objectives (RTO)
  • High Availability (HA)​
  • Disaster Recovery (DR)
  • How HA, backups and DR are a spectrum and each organization lands at a different place.
  • How to identify single points of failure in each, and how to mitigate them.
  • Extra-IT concerns​
