The concept of IT resiliency has been around for some time and is often used interchangeably with disaster recovery, but they are not the same.

Resiliency revolves around creating a structure that can withstand or prevent loss of services due to an unplanned event. Disaster recovery concerns the restoration of normal operations after an unplanned event.

In this webinar we will discuss how to plan for both resiliency and disaster recovery through:

• Understanding the difference and relationship between resiliency and disaster recovery
• Discussing the components of resiliency and disaster recovery
• Exploring how resiliency and disaster recovery can be integrated
• Recognizing when each may be most appropriate
