National Data Center Service Provider, CoreLink Data Centers, and Technology Management Company, Quest®, to Present Free Disaster Recovery Webinar

MT. PROSPECT, Ill., Feb. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- National data center service provider, CoreLink Data Centers, LLC  (www.corelink.com/), on Feb. 9th will present a complimentary one-hour webinar addressing the importance for organizations of all sizes to take steps to protect customer and business data against natural and cyber attack-related disasters, and required business objectives and drivers that help determine the appropriate level of disaster recovery preparedness.

"Best Practices and Tools for Disaster Recovery Planning" is tailored to help Chief Information Officers; IT directors, managers and security professionals; business owners; and, disaster recovery and compliance executives evaluate risk and what steps to take and tools to use to formulate an effective disaster recovery plan.

According to data from the National Archives and Records Administration, 60% of businesses who lose their data will shut down within six months of the disaster. The impact is even more pronounced on healthcare organizations where patient data can have life or death consequences. Mike Dillon, Quest's Chief Technology Officer, and Nav Ranajee, CoreLink's Director of Healthcare, will address six points designed to help those responsible achieve maximum safety and integrity while discussing the role that data centers and back-up tools play in recovering and/or repairing lost data.

The webinar will also feature a case study spotlighting how one healthcare organization implemented a disaster recovery plan.

"Most organizations large and small are not as prepared for business disruptions as they think they are — or need to be. Too many discover this hard truth only when something disruptive happens and the business can no longer function," Dillon said. "During this interactive session we will offer steps you can take to determine if your Disaster Recovery plans are adequate."

"Disaster recovery planning is increasingly becoming a priority for those IT executives for whom data is a core aspect to maintaining their business," Ranajee said. "Natural disasters fortunately don't take place as often as cyber attacks, which increasingly place network data at-risk. Natural or man-made, all organizations must know how to protect their businesses by conducting risk assessments and knowing how to formulate exactly the right disaster recovery plan for their specific organization."

"Working with data centers and leveraging the right back-up tools are among the most-effective steps they can take to both identify threats that prevent disasters and repair breaches to recover compromised data when they occur," Ranajee said.

Dillon and Ranjee will also discuss disaster recovery compliance regulations including HIPAA,  which healthcare providers must adhere, further increasing the importance of developing a comprehensive disaster recovery plan.
