Even with advanced infrastructures and state-of-the-art technology, businesses still face downtime and data loss. Ranging from minutes to days, downtime should be expected and every business should have a data/downtime recovery plan in place. In today’s world, and based on our ever increasing interdependence on technology, it is the forward thinking CEO who has a comprehensive data recovery plan in place. It’s not a question of “if” you’ll experience downtime and/or data loss, rather when. Statistics say it will happen, when it does, will your data be protected?
The answer is Cloud Computing. Cloud computing solution is indeed a powerful and relevant option for businesses. Although most of us have a basic understanding of what it is, there are several flavours of cloud computing that offer different levels of flexibility and options to users. It’s important to clearly understand what you’re paying for and what you should expect from each service.
Public Cloud:
A public cloud solution is a scalable system based on hardware that is shared between many clients. It’s usually cheaper to setup and start using since the hardware is already in place and ready to be used. You’ll be sharing drive space, CPU and RAM with other clients in the system and only pay for what you use.
A public cloud computing solution takes many technical details out of your control. While this can be a relief to the less-technical, it means you have little control over important details like how often backups are created, where systems are located and what kind of redundancy is in place to prevent outages.
Private Cloud:
The Private Cloud takes this one step further by also dedicating hardware for use by a single organization. A private cloud customer gets his own cabinet, switches etc. and is able to run their own virtualization.
Hybrid Cloud:
And to complicate things even more, there is the Hybrid Cloud, which is a combination of enterprise and private cloud. The hybrid cloud can be useful for software that does not run very well in a virtualized environment. Oracle is a good example of such software. With a hybrid solution, a physical private server is set up in the same facility as where the enterprise or private cloud hardware is located.
