I just did a one hour webinar sponsored by IBM and brought to the Internet by eWeek, a Ziff Davis Media publication. If I do say so myself I think it went very well. Elliot Markowitz of eWeek said he thought it was the best webinar so far this year.

Disaster Recovery: Learning from the Past to Get Ready for the Future
Enough boasting though… My partner on the webinar is Chris Preimesberger, Sr. Writer at eWeek where he focuses on virtualization, network monitoring, data center management and backup & disaster recovery/business continuity. Chris does a great job of laying out the trends in backup & disaster recovery/business continuity. Chris has the first half of the webinar and I come in during the second half with some great slides on RTO, RPO, comparison tables on tape, clustering/replication and disaster recovery appliances. It is well worth the hour to sit down and listen and watch.
