IT Recovery News

The Business Continuity & Virtualisation Newsletter

EDITORIAL

Dynamic Infrastructure is the industry's new buzz word, and Gregory Ness, an industry veteran and blogger, has called it the networking industry's biggest hope. Dynamic Infrastructure (or Infrastructure 2.0, as certain analysts prefer) is more flexible, more modular and easier to manage. Intelligent, dynamic connectivity, automation, consolidation, virtualisation and cloud computing are the technologies of Dynamic Infrastructure, and suppliers such as Cisco, F5 Networks, Microsoft and Double-Take® all intend to play a role. In the first ITRecovery News of 2009, we look back at Double-Take's success in 2008, especially in Dynamic Infrastructure. We have an exclusive customer case study for you, and we take a look at how WAN optimization technologies are evolving to meet the needs of business continuity/disaster recovery planning. ITRecovery News wishes you a happy, successful and disaster-free New Year!
