The 2005 hurricane season went down as the worst on record, with damages estimated at over $100 billion.* Forecasters are already predicting a similarly severe 2006 storm season, so it's imperative that companies with offices in vulnerable areas ensure that their applications and data are fully protected—well in advance of the coming deluge.
This TechRepublic Webcast features two guests from the New Orleans law firm of Chaffe McCall, L.L.P., who explain how XOsoft helped their organization and other companies in the hurricane zone make advanced preparations to ensure continuous availability of applications and data during and after last year's storms.
Listen as James A. Zeller, Senior Network Manager for Chaffe McCall, and his colleague George Lunsford, discuss how they safeguarded the law firm's information assets during the hurricanes that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005.
This Webcast, moderated by James Hilliard of TechRepublic, also features special guest David Aschmann, Product Manager for XOsoft, who demonstrates how XOsoft:
- Provides continuous access to business applications—including Exchange, SQL, and Oracle—so you can adequately support your customers during a hurricane or other disaster
- Quickly and easily fails over to a safe location offsite and, once the threat passes, returns to your primary production environment with push-button automation
- Performs transparent, comprehensive testing on your remote replica to verify the integrity of your server failover environment, so you can be assured that your failover will work as planned when invoked
*2005's Most Costly Disasters:
2005 Hurricane Katrina - FL, LA, MS, AL - $40-60 billon
2005 Hurricane Rita - LA, TX - $2.5-7 billon
