There is a good chance that you've been asked to use the cloud as a disaster recovery (DR) solution and eliminate use of secondary on-premises sites. How should you think about this strategy? What are the key requirements you should consider? In this session, learn how Cohesity can help you build a bulletproof plan for disaster recovery on AWS. Hear how a joint customer is using the Cohesity DataPlatform on the AWS Cloud to meet audit requirements for DR and at the same time enable the archiving of backup data. This session is brought to you by AWS partner, Cohesity, Inc.
