Impact Of Great Resignation On High Availability & Disaster Recovery

Every industry has been affected by the great resignation (or shuffle), and the world has discovered brand new opportunities, thanks to remote work. But when it comes to technology, such a mass exodus has immediate and lasting ramifications. We invited Cassius Rhue, VP of Customer Experience at SIOS Technology, to talk about the company’s experience, how the great resignation has affected the high availability and disaster recovery and what can be done about it.

Key highlights of the discussion:

It created these opportunities for people to begin to consider work in places they hadn’t before and that has had a huge impact on high availability (HA) and disaster recovery (DR).
