“A viable tool for disaster recovery and business continuity is the cloud”

Cloud bring opportunity
Besides keeping critical data, applications and processes secure and the network running 24x7, modern IT departments are under constant pressure to implement new technologies that enable the business. Due to this, business continuity planning and disaster recovery often takes a back seat to the day-to-day challenges of managing IT for an enterprise. But failure to prepare adequately for technological or natural disasters that disrupt the business could lead to financial disaster. A viable tool for disaster recovery and business continuity is the cloud. Because cloud computing relies heavily on hardware-independent virtualization technology, it enables enterprises to quickly back up data, applications, and even operating systems to a remote data center (or cloud). Faster uploads and downloads of important computing elements naturally translate into faster recovery times for the business.
Cloud based business continuity has made achieving operational resiliency easier, faster and more economical. Organizations now have the luxury of tackling downtime – the bane of any business that can stall production and impact revenue – seamlessly. And the benefits for organizations who take business continuity to the cloud are immense. Availability, easy restoration and back-ups, anytime / anywhere and cost effectiveness has paved the way for cloud acceptance for business continuity planning in various organisations.
Cloud: A catalyst of Growth
Fast pace of digital disruption demands that businesses must respond promptly to changing customer and employee needs. But often, a major hurdle is the need for huge capital investments in technology, longer time to market, and the operational overheads like IT staff etc. needed to maintain such systems. In all the above cloud computing comes to the rescue especially during this COVID time when many companies are seeking increased agility, flexibility, scalability with cost effectiveness. Cloud Computing has the flexibility of offering a “pay per use” feature that enables businesses to pay only for services in use, helping lower operating costs, run their infrastructure more efficiently and scale as business needs change. This has made a huge impact on adoption of cloud. Other benefits include Security, disaster recovery, mobility, insight, increased collaboration, quality control, loss prevention, automatic software updates, competitive edge and sustainability.
Hybrid Cloud
If an organisation has a hybrid cloud they have to deal with security. Whether it is pairing private and public cloud or running a complex, multi-cloud architecture, security is one of those areas where organisations can throw a lot of technology at the problem without getting results. What is needed is the precise mix of strategy and planning, followed by technology selection. Also, a key component in the mix is a single security toolset that covers public, private, and on-premises systems.
