This document discusses disaster recovery plans and strategies for cloud computing environments. It begins by emphasizing the importance of security and infrastructure design with data integrity as the top priority. It then outlines how the cloud has changed disaster recovery, providing highly available and scalable environments across multiple data centers for redundancy. Specific disaster recovery plans are presented, including same-datacenter, multi-datacenter, and VMware-based plans. Challenges of the hybrid cloud model are also discussed along with the benefits of a unified hybrid cloud approach.

• Infrastructure must be conceived
from the security
• Data integrity is all
• There’s no 100% security

7. Disaster recovery plans
• Copies and Backups
• Same DC recovery plan
• Multi DC recovery plan
• VMware recovery plan

8. Copies and Backups
Backups are necessary, BUT:
• Backup software can also fail (longevity
concerns)
• You Have to Back Up with Recovery in Mind
• Data Backup is Only the First Chapter
Data backup and disaster recovery are not the same
