Connectivity becomes more challenging than ever A “Connectivity Explosion” •  Applications, formats, APIs, protocols, standards, etc. •  Connected business partners Connectivity neither trivial nor static: •  Incompatible structures, semantics, business rules •  No mature standards •  Changes abound •  Not easy to create robust Web services interfaces Source: Pervasive Software © Bick Group 2010

V A LU E O F C LO U D A N D DR •  FIRST, THE COST OF LEVERAGING CLOUD COMPUTING AS PART OF YOUR BUSINESS CONTINUITY STRATEGY. –  NO DATA CENTER INVESTMENT. –  YOU CAN TURN IT ON WHEN NEEDED. –  THIS OPENS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUSINESSES THAT TYPICALLY COULD NOT AFFORD A BACK-‐ UP CENTER. –  THE DOLLAR ESTIMATE IS THAT THE COST IS ABOUT A FOURTH THAT OF TRADITIONAL BACKUP SITES. –  THE TRICK IS TO FIND THE CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDER THAT MEETS YOUR DR REQUIREMENTS. © Bick Group 2010

V A LU E O F C LO U D A N D DR •  THE SECOND, IS THE SPEED IN STANDING UP A SITE. –  AGAIN, NO NEED TO PURCHASE AND TEST HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. –  OVER AND ABOVE THE COST ADVANTAGES. –  YOU CAN BECOME A CLOUD COMPUTING CUSTOMER TODAY WITH A CREDIT CARD. © Bick Group 2010

V A LU E O F C LO U D A N D DR •  FINALLY, THERE IS THE FACT THAT MOST CLOUD-‐COMPUTING SYSTEMS ARE UBIQUITOUS. –  THUS, IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO A BROWSER AND THE INTERNET, THAN YOU CAN ACCESS YOUR CORE BUSINESS SYSTEMS AND CONTINUE YOUR BUSINESS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. –  THIS IS HANDY CONSIDERING THAT MOST DISASTERS MEAN EMPLOYEES WON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR OFFICES OR WORKPLACES. © Bick Group 2010

M A P P I N G A P AT H •  SO, HOW DO YOU MOVE TOWARD A CLOUD COMPUTING-‐ORIENTED DR STRATEGY? –  YOU START, AS WITH ANY DR STRATEGIES, BY UNDERSTANDING THE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THE RELATIVE COST OF RISK. –  FROM THERE YOU CAN ASSESS THE FIT OF A CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDER WITHIN THE DR STRATEGY. © Bick Group 2010

M A P P I N G A P AT H •  YOU ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER THE INHERENT RISKS. –  YOUR DATA IS BEING PHYSICALLY MIXED TOGETHER WITH DATA FROM OTHER COMPANIES, EVEN THOUGH LOGICALLY THEY APPEAR AS DEDICATED SYSTEMS. –  AS MANY OF THE CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDERS MATURE, THERE MAY BE MORE UPSIDES TO LEVERAGING CLOUD COMPUTING PROVIDERS AS A PART OF YOUR DR STRATEGY, EVEN WITH ALL OF THE DOWNSIDES CONSIDERED •  FOR NOW, THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD OPTION FOR DR. © Bick Group 2010
