Toronto, ON (PRWEB) May 3, 2008 -- In an Xtalks.com On Demand webinar, SANRAD Inc. presents "Virtualization: Enabling Disaster Recovery for the Masses," available now for viewing.

Server virtualization is a new paradigm which will re-shape overall IT priorities and storage practices. The new sprawl of virtual servers, combined with server mobility, will disrupt traditional backup and data protection processes while demanding careful attention to disaster recovery (DR) plans.

Server virtualization creates new storage and disaster recovery challenges for the IT community. With many virtual machines residing on a single physical server, IT managers need to understand the real-world impact and re-think their backup and recovery practices.

Speakers for this program are Steve Duplessie, Founder and Senior Analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group; Dave DuPont, CEO, SANRAD and Eric D. Nelson, Director of Information Technology / CIO, St. Joseph Healthcare.
