What is Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery in The Cloud
The thing people have always valued is there data or information. In the past it was
physical objects such as reports, photos, money…, fast forward to today’s world and the only
difference is those items are now digital, today we call them messages, photos, video, work
projects or a school project. Safeguarding these things falls on the shoulders of the companies
providing the digital services and the companies that use them. The ways in which they do this
is called Disaster Recovery (DR) and exists so the business can have Business Continuity (BC),
in the event their current processes and procedures are interrupted either from a natural disaster
or digital disaster such as hacking, malware or insider threat.
Let’s define disaster recovery, “Disaster recovery is an organization’s method of
regaining access and functionality to its IT infrastructure after events like a natural disaster,
cyber-attack, or even business disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. A variety of
disaster recovery (DR) methods can be part of a disaster recovery plan. DR is one aspect of
business continuity.” (VMware, 2021).
This brings us to the definition of business continuity, which is, “Business
continuity is a business’s level of readiness to maintain critical functions after an
emergency or disruption. These events can include:” (VMware, 2021).
Cloud-based Disaster Recovery systems offer businesses many improvements over
traditional disaster recovery methods. "Traditional disaster recovery involves building a remote
, disaster recovery (DR) site, which requires constant maintenance and support on your part. In
this case, data protection and disaster recovery are performed
manually, which can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive process. Disaster recovery
in cloud computing entails storing critical data and applications in cloud storage and failing
over to a secondary site in case of a disaster. Cloud computing services are provided on a
pay-as-you-go basis and can be accessed from anywhere and at any time. Backup and
disaster recovery in cloud computing can be automated, requiring minimum input on your
part." (Reed, 2019).
Recovery Risks Transferred to A Cloud Provider
The above shows the power of cloud based disaster recovery and business continuity.
Where before considerable time, energy and money was spent on creating a custom-in-house
solution now a small, medium or large business has access to complex software right off shelf
or cloud so to speak.
Whereas before businesses needed:
A dedicated facility for housing the IT infrastructure, including maintenance
employees and computing equipment (Reed, 2019).
Sufficient server capacity to ensure a high level of operational performance and allow
the data center to scale up or scale out depending on your business needs (Reed, 2019).
Internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth to enable remote access to the
secondary data center (Reed, 2019).
Network infrastructure, including firewalls, routers, and switches, to ensure a reliable
connection between the primary and secondary data centers, as well as provide data
availability (Reed, 2019).
