THE CLOUD IS IDEAL FOR DISASTER RECOVERY:Disaster recovery in the cloud is a relatively new concept, and like many technology trends, there's a lot of hype and misinformation out there. Cloud infrastru-ture is gaining in popularity for organi7ations that have very real business needs that rely on information te-hnology ("T$ infrastru-ture but struggle with the -osts both -apital and operational of e:panding their data -enters& >ut before even dis-ussing the -loud, it?s worthwhile to settle on a definition& .% is an ideal use -ase for ta6ing advantage of the -loud& +hile many organi7ations remain -autious about pla-ing produ-tion servi-es in the -loud, they are often more -omfortable testing those waters for .%Gespe-ially sin-e the -loud alters the e-onomi-s of .% so radi-ally& >ut disaster re-overy in the -loud isn?t a perfe-t solution, and its short-omings and -hallenges need to be -learly understood before a firm ventures into it& Se-urity usually tops the list of -on-erns*
