#Cloudchat: September 8 chat to focus on business resiliency & continuity in the cloud



 
 

Hurricanes, earthquakes, tornadoes—oh, my! It’s never a bad time to evaluate if and how your business is prepared for unexpected disaster events. Our September #cloudchat this Thursday, September 8, at 4 p.m. ET will focus on resiliency and continuity in the cloud—a timely topic considering the recent weather events on the East Coast of the U.S.

We will be joined by:

  • Richard Cocchiara, IBM Distinguished Engineer and CTO, IBM Business Continuity and Resiliency Services
  • Patrick Corcoran, Global Business Development, IBM Business Continuity and Resiliency Services

Rich and Pat will provide insight into how cloud computing fits in with resiliency plans.
