Cloud popular for recovery
Logicalis, an international provider of integrated ICT solutions and services has suggested that the old view that creating a data recovery and business continuity plan means adding a number of redundant physical servers is falling from fashion in favour of the cloud.
Joe Long, director of business continuity for Logicalis, said while cloud based data recovery is not the answer for every business, it is gaining the support of “savvy chief information officers and IT managers”.
“Today's cloud offerings can give many customers a value-priced tool with which to meet their recovery point and recovery time objectives,” he explained.
According to Benzinga, Long says the key is to have a qualified, independent third-party conduct a business impact assessment to determine if the business' recovery point objective and recovery time objective requirements can be supported by DR in the cloud before any decisions are made.
If it turns out that the company is a candidate for DR in the cloud, there are several good reasons to move forward with a full-scale evaluation of the advantages.
