Savvy IT professionals know that downtime carries many risks for their business-from disruption of user productivity, to slow customer response times, as well as significant financial and regulatory non-compliance consequences. Based on the findings of a recent independent report from Realtime Publishers, this 60-minute webinar will give you a solid foundation of what you need to know as you plan your HA strategies for Windows Server 2008, including:

• The important distinctions between high availability, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery (and why it's critical to know the difference)
  
• Windows Server 2008 HA native technologies: multi-instance, network load balancing and clustering
  
• Non-native options for Windows Server 2008 HA: data replication, virtualization, application controlled HA, and synchronized systems
  
• An executive summary of the people, processes, and technology that you need to have in place to ensure high availability for your Windows Server 2008 environment

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A session. All registered attendees will also receive a free copy of Realtime Publishing's detailed 17-page report, "The Essentials Series: Configuring High Availability for Windows Server 2008 Environments," (published in Sept. 2009) for a more detailed review of all of the HA technologies discussed in the webinar.
