With infrastructure centers in 10 regions around the world, AWS provides a set of cloud-based DR services that enable rapid recovery of your IT infrastructure and data.
Weighing the financial considerations of owning and operating a data center facility versus employing a cloud infrastructure requires detailed and careful analysis. In practice, it is not as simple as just measuring potential hardware expense alongside utility pricing for compute and storage resources. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is often the financial metric used to estimate and compare direct and indirect costs of a product or a service. Given the large differences between the two models, it is challenging to perform accurate apples-to-apples cost comparisons between on-premises data centers and cloud infrastructure that is offered as a service. In this session, we explain the economic benefits of deploying applications in AWS over deploying equivalent applications hosted in an on-premises environment.
You will learn how to create file archives, upload them to Amazon S3, and manage permissions and lifetimes, giving you the ability to back up any amount of data and to retain it for as long as you'd like. A number of open source and commercial backup and archiving tools will be demonstrated, as time permits.
You will also learn how to use built-in AWS facilities to quickly and easily create and restore snapshots of entire disk volumes.

Types of Cloud Storage and choosing the right solutionVrishali Sanglikar
Cloud computing and technology – popularly referred to as the cloud – has redefined the way we store and share our information. It has helped us transcend the limitations of using a physical device to share and opened a whole new dimension of the internet. We shall shortly see the why and how of the above. The providers making such services available are know are Cloud Service Providers or Hyperscalars or Cloud Providers or simply as Providers , etc. The leaders in this space are AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.
Cloud Computing has been around for close to 2 decades now (with AWS being the first Cloud Service Provider which started in 2006 and was the only Hyperscalar in market for a complete 4 years after inception). So by now cloud computing is widely recognized by name, but few people really understand how it works. This whitepaper is focused on AWS, but other providers have similar services to AWS. Cloud computing had its early beginnings in the form of Grid Computing, where resources were up and running on a network of connected computers. The same concept has evolved today and abstracted even more and across wider geographical area leading to emergence of what we call today as Cloud. Now why is it called a Cloud – because the location of the Resource or Server hosting the resource on the connected computers or computing devices or data centers does not matter. We simply say that our ‘Database is hosted on the Cloud’ OR ‘our Compute Resources are hosted on the Cloud’.
So then how do we use these digital resources stored in the virtual space – it is by way of networks. It allows people to share information and applications without being restricted by their physical location. We can say that Cloud Computing is the ‘on-demand delivery of IT services and resources over the Internet with a pay-as-you-go pricing model’. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical Data Centers and Servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, and databases, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider.
Organizations of every type, size, and industry are using the cloud for a wide variety of use cases, such as data backup, disaster recovery, email, virtual desktops, software development, big data analytics, and customer-facing web applications.

4. • Archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively used to
a separate data storage device for long-term retention. Data archives are
indexed and have search capabilities so that files and parts of files can be
easily located and retrieved.
• A backup or the process of backing up is making copies of data which
may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. The primary
purpose is to recover data after its loss, be it by data deletion or corruption.
The secondary purpose of backups is to recover data from an earlier time.
• Disaster recovery (DR) is the process, policies and procedures related to
preparing for recovery or continuation of technology infrastructure critical to
an organization after a natural or human-induced disaster.
