StorageDecisions: Backup NL10

Free one day seminar with W. Curtis Preston

Backup is the one topic that continually plagues storage-focused IT professionals. That’s why over 4,000 storage professionals have attended this acclaimed event since 2005 and 98.7% of them said they would recommend it to their peers – peers just like you!

Advanced Backup School is guaranteed to provide you with time-tested advice and techniques that will make backup easier. Renowned backup guru W. Curtis Preston will review the basics – but will also be going into in-depth detail on the newest issues, technologies, and solutions surrounding backup.
Updated for 2009, this year’s seminar will incorporate detailed statistical information on backup policy, procedure and volume pulled directly from over 100 Fortune 1000 companies. Plus, you’ll get Curtis’ experienced take on the viability of solutions like virtual tape libraries, data deduplication, virtualization, continuous data protection and more.

The agenda is completely revamped, as Curtis focuses his attention on the next-generation technologies being successfully deployed in many IT architectures, but you can expect the same quality of useful information as last time. And, perhaps just as importantly, the audience is made up solely of storage professionals like you so there will be ample networking opportunities with peers in your area
Seating for this seminar is free for qualified IT professionals, but extremely limited. To claim your seat now complete our quick online application.
