How to balance cost vs. convenience during replication implementation

Replication has long been relied on for providing availability (aka avoiding downtime) during and after a device failure or system malfunction, but it's since merged with modern backup strategies to complement backup tools and server hypervisors. In recent years, organizations have replicated data to the cloud or a DR site for disaster recovery. It's clear that the role of replication in IT has evolved.

Explore this evolution now by checking out this exclusive disaster recovery handbook on replication. Full of insight from industry pros such as Brien Posey and Paul Kirvan, this expert resource dives into topics including replication tools today, asynchronous vs. synchronous replication, and replication for virtual machines. Read on to arm yourself with the replication know-how needed to navigate this space in 2013.
