On Wednesday 22 May at 10.00 a.m. CDT, thanks to the fine folks at Spiceworks, Backup Exec is hosting a LiveStream Q&A: Virtualization, Appliance or Software – Where do Backups Fit?. Things are a little different this time around. This year we are happy to have have 2 power users of Backup Exec
- Tim Gunsteens – Manager, Logistics and Technology at Citrus County Supervisor of Elections Citrus County sits in a low-lying area on the Gulf Coast—prime hurricane country—so Tim must make sure that all systems, particularly the proprietary voter registration application, can recover quickly after a natural disaster.
- Nathan Streb – Systems Administrator – NAC Solutions The challenge for Nathan was to improve business continuity, so he began virtualizing NAC’s servers in late 2011. Within 18 months, five racks holding 30 physical servers shrank to 1.5 racks holding two VMware ESXi hosts, containing a total of 24 virtual servers running Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, and Linux. Nathan says that, eventually, NAC’s data center will be 100 percent virtual.
