LAN Infotech and Datacore Host Business Continuity Workshop

Online, August 3, 2010 (Newswire.com) - With hurricane season in South Florida well underway, three organizations, namely LAN Infotech, DataCore and Peak 10 partnered to host a comprehensive Business Continuity workshop on Tuesday, June 22nd.
Peak 10 hosted the event at their hardened data center in Fort Lauderdale.

LAN Infotech kicked off the event with a presentation explaining how to create a business continuity plan should disaster strike. Highlights of the presentation included how to plan the backup of your data and the processes of how to replicate your hardware, software and data. Michael Goldstein comments, "Most companies go out of business in 6 months once they have lost significant data. I recommend you see it as an investment or a competitive advantage rather than an added expense".

Brooks Butler, Sales Director, DataCore Software, spoke about the significance of a solid, tested disaster recovery plan for companies in Florida. He also talked about how storage virtualization can make disaster recovery cost-effective, simple and practical and within the reach of any organization, no matter the size.

Peak 10's experts shared how a data center services company could aid in a company's business continuity plan by providing a hardened, scalable and reliable IT infrastructure. "During an emergency you don't want to worry about how you will communicate and deliver services to your customers. This is where a professional data center services company can lighten the load on an IT team," said Stefan Pittinger, the vice president and general manager of Peak 10 South Florida. "Peak 10's South Florida location was custom-built to be a data center and provide customers with a resilient infrastructure to support their growing businesses."
