Virtual Strategy Magazine is pleased to continue the VSM Roundtable Series where our members and readers can have their questions answered. The topic this month is "Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity"

Podcast Summary:

I imagine that my company is not alone in not having a DR/BC plan in place. I know that this could be potentially dangerous considering the floods in the last couple of years but getting funding approved for DR is not likely at all. What strategies do you find are the most cost effective? What points should I use to persuade my company this is a worthwhile expense?
Do you think Virtualization is a disruptive technology? In a positive or negative way? Many companies are reporting great successes with implementing Virtualization to support their DR efforts. Are you hearing these same sentiments of success from your customers?
What should be considered when determining whether to keep DR in-house or when outsourcing it to a Disaster Recovery service provider would be more effective?
I'm doing a research on Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity; I would like to know more about security measures for server rooms, the best strategy for disaster recovery, and the best layout for the server room.
We have a warm offsite location for our datacenter but as far as I know we have never tested our DR plan. Do you have an idea what our odds of success are if we ever did try to test it?
