Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Planning: Is Cloud the ultimate response -
Every business needs a solid recovery plan disaster ?. It is the key to ensuring business continuity through any possible disaster. Recent industry studies have found that companies that lose their data disaster (hurricane, earthquake, tornado, etc.) are likely to go out of business in the coming years.
In addition to natural disasters, companies also have to worry about technological disasters such as DNS attacks, network outages and Internet outages. In the case of a disaster of any nature, the survival of your customers and your company depends on a recovery plan pre-established disaster; network availability; and your ability to save, restore and secure all vital data and applications. Do you have confidence in the services available to you and your customers?
When control = risk, it's time to Let Go
after traditional disaster recovery plans were checked by internal staff and redundant infrastructure required on site with lying mirror configurations out site to ensure geographical disparity. However, these solutions are not only expensive, but were often separated by a few miles, increasing the risk of a total loss in the event of a regional disaster.
With the proliferation of cloud services, another front runner in disaster recovery emerged. The cloud offers a multitude of benefits that are lacking in infrastructure onsite or at home, and it reduces your overall risk. With class data center power your enterprise cloud solution, you are guaranteed almost instant recovery of data and applications across the enterprise with only an Internet connection.
Indeed, a quality cloud provider ensure its system will not go down. With redundant servers, supplies, and service providers; geographic disparity; and checks and balances to reflect the "human error factor," there's always another system ready to take over if the primary is drawn by a disaster.
Location, Location, location does not matter
location may not matter, but many places do. When recovery management disaster on site, an important stress factor is the maintenance of two identical infrastructures almost the same place. Although your site back-up may be on the other side of the city, that will not matter at a tornado, hurricane, earthquake or takes the entire town. not to mention the number of hours you spend driving from one place to another just to confirm that the two systems are working properly.
would not it be better if you could count on a point of contact with your supplier single cloud to ensure continuous backup, retention of records of 30 days, without interruption of service, enterprise-class security experts and engineers 24x7x365 work for the system to work properly - with multiple locations? Add in several layers of redundancy physical, logical, methodical and suddenly you have a recovery plan disaster iron clad that allows you to focus on other strategic IT projects.
Peace of Mind with enterprise-class security
to ensure that data and applications are properly maintained, it is important to use US data centers that meet federal, state, and local safety laws. Data centers should be Tier 4 certified and SAS 70 compliant with multiple redundancies meet Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS 140) safety requirements for validation, and use the Twenty Critical Security Controls for all standards security.
With Cloud, you get the first class of viruses and protection from hackers and advanced technology to protect against data tampering. equipment around the clock and monitoring software by data security experts responsible for preventing problems before they occur, giving you time and bandwidth to focus on other priorities
Cost :. Disaster Recovery against internal cloud
Shrinking budgets translate into limited IT funds. With the ongoing costs of maintaining the internal hardware, software licenses and IT staff, these funds can be spread pretty thin. A cloud solution provides a scalable cost-effective alternative to internal disaster recovery with predictable monthly expenses based on the number of users and applications, and amount of data storage required. In addition, the cloud provider can maintain software licenses for you as part of your contract.
The best way to survive a disaster is to be prepared. Do not let the threat of a flood, virus attack, tsunami, or network failure put your business or your customers' businesses at risk of going out of business from data loss. Let the cloud profitable, reliable and secure is the ultimate answer to your disaster recovery and business continuity needs.
