Jason Iehl, Co–chair of the DMF Data Protection Initiative, will be presenting “Trends in Data Protection and Restoration Technologies” during the BrightTalk “Next Generation Data Center” online summit this coming Thursday, July 30th at 4pm ET/1pm PT. These summits are a collection of topical webcasts run over the course of one or two days focused on a variety of relevant and timely subjects.

Summits are free to attend live or on demand.

Jason’s talk will discuss the many disk technologies, both old and new, that are being used to augment tried and true backup and data protection methodologies in order to deliver better information and application restoration performance. Technologies include contemporary backup, disk based backups, snapshots, continuous data protection and capacity optimized storage. Details of how these technologies interoperate will be provided as well as best practices and recommendations for deployment in today’s heterogeneous data centers.
