Upcoming articles for Computer Weekly

For Computer Weekly, I am researching the following features:

Disaster recovery: on-premises vs as-a-service

In this piece, we will look at cloud and at a service offerings for disaster recovery, and how they compare with on premises options.

  • Why is disaster recovery increasingly critical for enterprises, and how is DR measured?
  • What are the benefits of cloud and as a service DR?
  • What are the pros and cons of on-premises implementation?
  • Are there industries or workloads that suit one format more than the other?

Deadline: Tuesday 15th July

How to consolidate storage during M&A 

Is there a template for storage consolidation following M&A? Or else, what best practice should organisations adopt?

The piece will cover:

  • The benefits from consolidating storage after M&A?
  • What benefits come if you leave infrastructure as-is?
  • How can cloud storage help in such situations?
  • What are the key tasks when approaching potential storage rationalisation after M&A?

Deadline: Tuesday 22nd July

Please pitch any interviews, or send any information, by email with details in the first instance noting the deadlines above.
