Today, many cloud service providers and a growing number of enterprises are failing over data center operations between separate cloud data centers in lieu of using more traditional disaster recovery-centric approaches.

Is managed failover the convergence holy grail for both traditional disaster recovery and availability management?

This session discusses both the opportunities and limitations of managed failover in the public cloud by leveraging the research results from Gartner’s recently completed Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) Critical Capabilities and failover management automation research.

Discussion Topics:

• If managed failover becoming more mainstream in the enterprise
• How cloud providers are implementing managed failover
• The best short term client opportunities for implementing failover management across hybrid clouds
