Round Table

Business continuity

“I see a lot of IT managers implementing the technology separate to putting proper policies in place. There are others with great policies that never get the technology to a point where they can support the recovery objectives they’ve agreed with the business” Thomas Duryea’s Andrew Thomas “We compete with some vendors at times but realise that it is our responsibility to improve if we don’t win” Somerville Group’s Craig Somerville “If something really does take out a city then the datacentre is probably going to be the least of your worries. There might be another datacentre in Brisbane but where are the people to do the work?” Fujitsu’s Perry Delaney “There are still the traditional issues for customers, like justifying investment and getting the business to buy in, but our opinion is that we are at a tipping point… Virtualisation will make it a lot easier, as will the ability to host infrastructure at third-party facilities and greater availability of bandwidth” Dimension Data’s Steven Boi “We need to work closer with partners and help them narrow the field of DR so it becomes bit-sized chunks that can be managed over time – eventually customers will get to where they want to be” CA’s Jason Shannon “DR is a part of it but business continuity is so much more and that gives us an opportunity for a much richer engagement around policies and procedures. That opens up a whole new can of worms” HP’s Corie Marinucci “Even a non-technical person could see the network design was not good but when I asked to see their policies they were able to produce a ream of bound documents” Ethan Group’s John Lin “Technology has made everything quicker and customers who were prepared to sit on the phone for half an hour to get a license renewed are not prepared to do that anymore” Juniper Networks’ Scott Janey “As virtualisation breaks out from being seen purely as a consolidation technology into business continuity and other areas of the datacentre, we have just got to react” Ingram Micro’s Stuart Ellis “The vendor just wants to make sure their solutions are represented correctly so the customer feels they are getting the best value” VMware’s David Blackman

The IT industry is a very

The IT industry is a very competitive one. There isn't a level of skill, the employees can always develop new things that will make the market crash for a certain product. Take Bill Gate's operating system. Windows has been the best sold product of its kind. Linux is rising though because of Windows' errors. Even if it's a freeware and open source program, people prefer it to the highly valued Microsoft product.
