Disaster Recovery, Continuity of Operations, Backup, and Archive on AWS

Session agendaContext: on-premises Disaster Recovery (DR) using AWS

Why AWS for recovery of on-premises IT infrastructure

The ascending levels of DR

DR/Continuity scenarios

Q&A

TerminologyBusiness Continuity

Business Continuity ensures that an organization's critical business functions continue to operate or recover quickly despite serious incidents.

Disaster RecoveryDisaster Recovery (DR) enables the recovery or continuation of vital technology infrastructure and systems following a natural or human-induced disaster.

Recovery Point Objective Recovery Time ObjectiveRTO is a targeted duration in which a business process must be restored after a disaster or disruption.

RPO is the maximum targeted period in which data might be lost from an IT service due to a major incident.

History of DR

There have been many challenges for traditional DR for enterprisesBuilding and maintaining regional data centersFailed DR testsNot meeting RPO & RTOHigh technical debt

AWS compared to traditional disaster recovery

Conventional

High cost to build disaster recovery sites or data centers (CAPEX)High cost of storage, backup, archival and retrieval tools, and processes (OPEX)Difficult planning, procurement and deploymentChallenging to verify DR plansSingle level of DR across the organization

AWS

Low cost upfront investment (CAPEX)On-demand costs (OPEX)Consistent experience across AWS environmentsRecovery automationSeparate levels of DR per application or business unit
