BCOE-ITDR
This course illustrates the impact that new technologies have on the IT/DR Professional’s role in delivering recovery solutions that best meet increasing demands from service contracts and regulatory requirements. Additionally, through lecture and via examples, attendees will explore selecting strategic alternatives for the IT/DR process; building, testing, and implementing the new IT/DR process; and integrating the BCM and IT/DR functions within an organization.
Objective
At the end of this course, attendees will understand the business continuity management (BCM) architecture and discipline; the role of IT/DR within BCM; issues involved with the recovery of technology platforms and data; as well as current and emerging IT/DR technologies (real, virtual, cloud, co-location, hyperconvergence, VDI, “as-a-service” – IaaS / PaaS /SaaS / DaaS / ITaaS / DRaaS, etc., and “software defined” – storage/network/ data center).
