You can, however, have the foresight to prepare a cloud disaster recovery plan that enables you to quickly restore operations whenever disaster does strike your cloud.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Disaster Recovery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A disaster can be any sort of unexpected event that interferes or disrupts your business\u2019s IT workloads.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are not able to know the exact nature of a cloud disaster only after it has occurred. What you are able to do is prepare a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowrack.com\/solutions\/disaster-recovery\">disaster recovery plan<\/a>, which will assist you in quickly restoring operations back to normal following a disaster.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cloud Disaster Recovery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are various ways to implement a disaster recovery plan. One approach would be relying on on-premise infrastructure for backing up your workloads.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The method that provides you with the greatest flexibility and recovery speed, however, is a cloud backup and disaster recovery. Then, when disaster occurs, those resources can be restored from the cloud back to their original locations -- whether those locations are on-premise infrastructure or the cloud.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to describe cloud backup and disaster recovery is to call it offsite disaster recovery because your workloads are backed up to a remote site and can be recovered from there.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that a cloud disaster recovery plan can be used to back up and restore workloads that run on-premise as well as those hosted in the cloud. You don\u2019t have to run your production systems in the cloud in order to take advantage of the cloud-based disaster recovery.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Cloud Disaster Recovery?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cloud disaster recovery plan provides several key benefits, as compared to other types of disaster recovery strategies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scalability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is more scalable, since you can easily increase the amount of resources that you back up in the cloud by purchasing more cloud infrastructure capacity<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost Options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can pay as you go. In other words, you pay for cloud disaster recovery infrastructure as you use it; there is no need to invest upfront in hardware or to pay for more infrastructure than you actually use at a given time.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spread Your Backup<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cloud-based disaster recovery makes it possible to leverage geographic redundancy features. This means that you can spread your backed-up resources across multiple geographic regions in order to maximize their availability, even if part of the cloud that you use fails.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Speed &amp; Efficiency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery from the cloud is fast because most cloud infrastructure offers high bandwidth and fast disk I\/O.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In a Digital Nutshell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowrack.com\/solutions\/disaster-recovery\">disaster recovery solutions<\/a> affords you a surplus of benefits that prove to be invaluable to you and your business. You\u2019ll gain scalability and availability, while also likely reducing your overall costs as compared to a disaster recovery strategy that relies only on on-premise infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can never anticipate exactly when a disaster may occur to your cloud infrastructure.
