The Prosiliency Podcast, aka DR in a Bar, is an irreverent, profane and always real look at life and technology from both inside and outside the data center.

The Prosiliency Strategy is a Proactive Strategy to enable your Data Center to be the most resilient in case of Disaster.  Prosiliency is the interesection between art and science where your data is never lost . . . and your business is never down.

In this, our 9th episode, we look at automation trends that affect our daily lives through the lens of Disaster Recovery and bring light to questions that will be addressed in the wake of automation and the evolution of the automobile.

And of course we enjoy a little beer along the way . . .

In this, our fourth episode, we take a trip down south to The Big Easy in New Orleans on SuperBowl Sunday. There, we visit the American Sports Saloon near the French Market, and experience the best crawfish the Crescent City has to offer.  

When you consider doing business on the cloud (aka moving your data there), we recommend you back up your network as well as the applications running there.  Running a reverse DR plan is an important factor in your decision making process to make sure you NEVER lose key data . . . minutes, weeks, or months later.

The Beer: Ragin Cajun - Genuine Louisiana Ale

Vince's Rating: 6.5 (thumbs up!)
