The document discusses various strategies for disaster recovery and backup using AWS services. It describes different architectures for cold and warm disaster recovery using services like Amazon S3, EBS, and EC2. It also summarizes solutions from partners like Veritas, Commvault, NetApp, CloudEndure, Sungard AS, and CloudRanger for backing up, replicating, and recovering data between on-premises and AWS environments. Case studies are provided on how companies like Trinity Mirror and Malibu Boats implemented disaster recovery on AWS.

Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery
• The ability to technically recover from a situation where assets critical to business operations are inaccessible,
• Continue/restart core business operations using the recovery environment, and perform both operations within a period of time to reduce business loss.
• Many current BCDR solutions use traditional storage replication and recovery solutions (including Backup and Archive above) that are simply repointed to cloud
targets vs. alternative locations.
• BCDR is implemented in two main ways: Cold (e.g. Backup & Recovery, Pilot Light) or Warm (e.g. Warm Standby or Multi-Site)

Architecture #1: Cold Disaster Recovery
Backup & Recovery, Pilot Light
• Systems are in either a standby or powered off state
• Data is replicated as needed to meet the required RPO
• Virtual systems are replicated and updated periodically
• Physical systems are manually rebuilt as EC2 instances and powered on only for updates.

Architecture #2: Warm Disaster Recovery
Warm Standby, Multi-Site
• Systems running, but without applications started
• Data is replicated as needed to meet required RPOs
• Virtual systems are replicated to reflect changes,
• Physical systems are manually rebuilt and configured as EC2 instances, which are
in a running state, without applications started.

Company: Trinity Mirror is largest news publisher in the United
Kingdom, with more than 150 print and 80 online newspapers
Challenges:
• Relentless pace of publication left no room for down time
• Needed to modernize DR with a hybrid approach
• Support for stringent 60-minute RPO and RTO
Solution: Leveraged NetApp’s ONTAP Cloud to build DR platform
on AWS

AWS DR Scenario: Malibu Boats Recovers from IT Disaster in Minutes
Customer: Malibu Boats is a large, US-based manufacturer of high-performance sports boats
Challenges:
• Needed enterprise-level DR solution to achieve rapid recovery and maintain availability of back-
end applications
• Meet budget requirements
• Attain multi-regional resilience (secondary data center was nearby)
• Adopt cloud-based DR solution that would work with future cloud-based server migration
project
Solution: Worked with Rackspace to select cutting-edge, AWS-integrated DR solution. Went with
CloudEndure.
Benefits: CloudEndure DR During Outage of Server Running Mission-Critical Applications
• Granular point-in-time recovery feature allowed recovery into AWS at previous point, prior to
corruption
• Resumed production facility operation, without disruption, with sub-second RPO and RTO of
minutes
• Automated failback to data center once issues were resolved, without data loss or disruption
• Application performance while running in recovery mode on AWS was better than expected,
and expedited migration to AWS, followed by activating cross region Disaster Recovery in AWS

management and service optimization solutions for enterprise and small
businesses, both for mobile and in-house resources.
Challenges:
• Homemade DR solution had anywhere from a few hours to a day for
RPO and RTO

DR capabilities
• Couldn't guarantee zero data loss for their customers
Solution: Selected CloudEndure’s DR solution, supporting 200 servers in
several data centers
Benefits:
• High reliability and ease of use DR drills with just a click
• Near-zero RPO and RTO
• No performance impact on the production environment
