Cloud computing and hosting has revolutionized the way in
which businesses (small and large) conduct their operations. While the cloud
environment allows users to easily scale their websites, there are additional
concerns with disaster recovery. Since this type of hosting service is
drastically different from the traditional shared or dedicated hosting options,
there must be more diverse ways to protect vital data.
Data Replication
Data Replication is a concept that everyone in the IT
industry should be well versed in. It happens when data is duplicated from one
system to another. Essentially, any changes to the current data on a server are
automatically replicated on another machine or portion of the cloud. While this
might result in the loss of some data in case of any immediate failure, most of
the data will remain in the place. Depending on the replication system being
utilized, a server might replicate to multiple physical locations. In the event
of a failure at one replicated location, another could be used to restore
services, in the event of a disaster.
Managed Service
Provider
When consistency and data is important, many businesses will
essentially outsource their disaster recovery to their managed service
provider. Many hosting services will offer a well planned level of services,
but this comes with an additional cost. When this type of disaster recovery
plan is being employed, it is essential to have a reliable Service Level
Agreement (SLA). It ensures that an appropriate level measure of service is
offered to maintain a good quality of service.
Azure Site Recovery and Backup
Many websites will have Azure site recovery or backup plan.
This allows for an easy recovery or backup option, you can store your data
directly to the cloud and can easily access from wherever you want. While
backing up data is relatively cost effective in this instance, restoring it can
be very time consuming. Depending on the amount of data, the depending process
can take minutes or hours.
These are some of the ways to protect your crucial data, but
have you ever thought, why including a disaster recovery is must for your
business? Well, we have the answer to your all questions.
