Based on your assigned reading and supplemental research, provide a proposed solution for the CTO of Widgets, Inc. Include a discussion of various backup and redundancy solutions. Be sure to include in your presentation the following: RAID, NAS, DAS, data protection, redundancy, and high availability.
Create a PowerPoint presentation explaining the backup and redundancy concepts, how they compare to or work with each other, and provide a backup/redundancy solution for the CTO of Widgets, Inc.
