Last week I completed the first three cities (Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago) in a nine city road show event focused on "The Evolution of Disaster Recovery"? where we covered three core topics:

• Recovery Management – What is it and how do we facilitate it?? What is the? state of the marketplace?
• Remote Office Disaster Recovery – Leveraging edge-to-core data consolidation
• Virtual Infrastructure – Taking disaster recovery to the next level

Despite a high potential for mistakes and missteps (due to the fact this was the first round) we managed to present 3 very good seminars.? I believe that 99% of the attendees walked away with some piece of valuable information.? Being that I will be speaking for 3 weeks on the same topic I attempted to change it up a little in each city to avoid the "Groundhog Day" effect.? In Chicago I talked a little about the "Infrastructure Chasm"?and surprisingly there was some serious head nodding going happening.? I think as we make our way to the 6 other cities I may discuss this in further detail.
