Uhl notes, "AWS enables fast disaster recovery of critical on-premises IT systems without incurring the complexity and expense of a second physical site. With 28 availability zones in 11 regions around the world and a broad set of services, AWS can deliver rapid recovery of on-premises IT infrastructure and data."

During this session we will walk you through the ascending levels of DR options made possible with AWS and review the technologies and services that help deliver various DR capabilities, starting from cloud backups all the way up to hot site DR. We will also explore various DR architectures and the balance of recovery time and cost."
