Eric Burgener (Taneja Group) and Dave Bermingham (SteelEye Technology) discuss replication technology and the advantages—and disadvantages—of various approaches to securing your firm’s data.

Data replication now enables users to keep a real-time copy of data offsite, which can happen in real-time through asynchronous replication across a wide area network to a recovery site or even to a cloud storage repository.
