Following the revolution, on January 25th 2011 in Egypt, several devastating fire incidents occurred throughout the year , the most significant of which, being the burn down of the National Democratic Party premises and the adjacent premises of the Nation Council for Women. These and other disaster incidents raised awareness to the indispensable need for data protection planning and disaster recovery remedies.
On June 6th, 2012 Nile.Com held its third Business Continuity Seminar and witnessed a significant increase in the attendance of highly distinguished executives and IT professionals from various industry fields seeking information on IT Business Continuity Plans, and Solutions for establishing Disaster Recover Sites.
An overview by Ehab Eid, Solution Architecture Manager, Nile.com, brought a particular attention to unpredictable adversities that may happen when least expected. When disaster strikes, desktops, applications, data and servers must be brought online, as quickly as possible, to ensure that employees have access to the entire network. IT must build highly available systems that link redundant datacenters to provide employees with business-critical desktops and applications at all times.
A special highlight focused on “IBM Power Systems Availability” presented by Amr Abdel Maksoud, IBM Power Systems Sales Specialist, followed by a session on “Replication and Data Protection on Power” using Double-Take solutions presented by our special guest speaker – Maurits Hollander, Vision Solutions Advisory Solutions Consultant.
IT Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery are probably one of the most critical elements of an Organization’s overall Business Continuity Plan. Planned or unplanned business interruptions occur, whether caused by IT maintenance outages or site closures due to fire, natural disasters or other potential causes.
