Individual Assignment.
Prepare a paper on how disaster recovery works in the Cloud. Cloud Computing delivers fast recovery times and multi-site availability at a fraction of the cost of conventional disaster recovery. Because Cloud computing is based on virtualization, it takes a very different approach to disaster recovery.
In your paper discuss:
- Your definition of Cloud Computing
- Pros and Cons of Disaster Recovery in the Cloud
- The Trade-offs between Recovery Time vs Costs
- Three (3) vendors that Provide Disaster Recovery Cloud Services (DRaaS), prepare a grid and compare and contrast them. Which one do you like best and why?
- The use of Virtual Machines and the concept of Elasticity
- Cyber Threats: what are they and how would you protect the Cloud infrastructure?
- What are the vulnerabilities of a disaster recovery solution using the cloud?
- Benefits of Disaster Recovery in the Cloud: cost / features / functionality / deployment
- Summary / Conclusion
In addition, as part of your paper, prepare a diagram (your original work) of a cloud-based disaster recovery capability for Samsung, including your RTO. For your reference attached is a diagram illustrating the Samsung computer systems / infrastructure / departments that need to be recovered. Samsung does not use virtual machines and all systems in the attached diagram are in a centralized data center.
Paper requirements: single space, 12 point font, 6 page minimum, 8 page maximum, include cover page not part of 6 page minimum. Include diagram, not part of 6 page minimum, as last page in paper with a caption that describes what it is a representation of.
