@Yankees Sports should stay out of politics! Any life loss due to murder is unacceptable!! But to recognize this individual and not the children murdered in multiple school shootings, unbelievable!!! Yankees need to spend more time on winning games, not politics and sucking up!

Enterprise customers say visibility of data across regions -- physical or cloud regions -- is a challenge. Today's modern orgs are choosing a single dashboard that can show current backup status, RTO & RPO + alert to any unusual activity, such as #ransomware
#BUDRInsightJam

[Patrick Corcoran @PatCorcoranNY]

It's critical for Businesses and IT to be communicating what's required to meet business availability requirements, and for IT to explain what is required to make this reality. #BUDRInsightJam

[Alex Svenson @SRDataProtect]

Q: What infrastructure challenges most impede successful #businesscontinuity and overall #dataprotection? #BUDRInsightJam

[Patrick Corcoran @PatCorcoranNY]

Everything we're focused today on with BU and DR is RISK. A key place to find then is in your company's 10K Risk Factors. Check out what you're CEO and CFO are saying would impact the business. #BUDRInsightJam

[Alex Svenson @SRDataProtect]

That's a good point, a holistic approach is needed from the entire organization. #BUDRInsightJam

[Patrick Corcoran @PatCorcoranNY]

The resiliency framework is important because it needs to be a business discussion and driven ... everything we do must directly support the Strategy, or how important is it? #BUDRInsightJam

[Alex Svenson @SRDataProtect]

It's a lot to address, but it's the only way to maintain overall resiliency #BUDRInsightJam

[Patrick Corcoran @PatCorcoranNY]

This is not just an IT discussion. You need a resiliency framework that addresses: strategy, organization/people, processes, applications, data, technology, & facilities.
#BUDRInsightJam

[Andrea Sayles @AndreaSayles1]

A common architecture that includes an integrated approach between security, networking and recovery, along with using software-defined tools, automation and air-gapped and immutable storage technology, are all required to protect the data and business. #BUDRInsightJam

[Patrick Corcoran @PatCorcoranNY]

A4: Market data is showing that over 50% of IT infrastructure will be in cloud by 2023, so Cloud is real, but we need to make sure we address Hybrid (Public/Private Cloud and On-Prem) environments. #BUDRInsightJam

[Alex Svenson @SRDataProtect]

Q: How big of a role should the cloud play in your #BUDR solution? #BUDRInsightJam
