Webinar: Do Clients Really Need SaaS Application Backup to Keep Their Data Safe?

SMB Nation Webinar Thursday, December 8th, 2016 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PST

Presented by: Harry Brelsford CEO at SMB Nation, and Martin Merrell Senior Sales Engineer at Storagecraft

There are 7 ways you can respond to the question, “Do my clients really need SaaS application backup?” All of which have become famous last words:

  • Since my data is already in the cloud, it is already backed up and safe
  • We have good, highly trained admins and users and very efficient systems
  • If we need something, we just put in a request to the application vendor
  • No one would ever want to hijack my data, we are too small to be a target
  • Our people are careful and would only throw away incorrect or outdated files
  • We comply with all necessary government or agency policies and regulations
  • We can get what we need, when we need it, and in the original format

In this webinar, you will learn exactly why these phrases are famous last words when it comes to keeping SaaS data safe and readily accessible after a disaster, but more importantly, you’ll learn the easy steps you can take to avoid their disastrous consequences.

Webinar:  Rethinking DR: The Cloud Changes Everything

SMB Nation Webinar Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM PST

Presented by: Harry Brelsford CEO at SMB Nation, and Chris Sterbenc Channel Chief, SVP of Sales of Infrascale

Traditional disaster recovery solutions rely on expensive hardware-centric approaches. As hardware reaches its end-of-life, companies that had been running their own secondary sites see disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) as an opportunity to replace outdated equipment with Cloud-based technologies that eliminate the CAPEX.

As operational uptime has become a business necessity, DRaaS isn't being treated as an experiment or pilot project anymore. On the contrary, 50,000 production systems are now being hosted by DRaaS in 2016, up from 30,000 at the end of 2015, and the double-digit growth rate is expected to continue for years to come.

In this session, we'll help you make the transition to the cloud.

  • Discuss the evolution of DRaaS
  • How DRaaS works
  • Ransomware protection & push-button failover
  • Key questions for vetting would-be solution providers

In many cases, the archive alone can halt a migration to Office 365.

In this informative webinar, join industry experts as they discuss:

  • Should it stay or should it go? Deciding what should be moved to Office 365
  • Making the Move Quickly. Taking a look at ways to move archives including the Office 365 Import Service.
  • Organizational Requirements. Addressing legal, chain-of-custody, and compliance issues.
