Multi-Cloud Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Framework
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper is developed to address what becomes a critical problem in the context of business continuity management in organizations that rely heavily on the cloud by providing a robust multi-cloud disaster recovery framework. However, the use of the multiple cloud computing facilities has its flaws: any problem with the provided cloud, systems’ outage, leakage of data or disruption of service significantly affects the functioning of the entire business. This paper introduces a more cost efficient, adaptive architecture that uses multiple cloud providers to ensure adequate disaster resistant capability during disaster situations. The solution to proposed entails failover across the cloud, real-time replication techniques, automated service level agreement compliance and intelligent workload allocation. Our initial analysis shows that this can cut down the rto by 65% and rpo by 78% to typical per-cloud DR solutions while adding 30-40% expense overhead to replicant full redundant copy. This framework responds to the acute requirements for the high availability of cloud constructs in the constantly integrating and depending on cloud business environment.
