Disaster Recovery in Cloud Computing Systems: An Overview

Abstract

With the rapid growth of internet technologies, large-scale online services, such as data backup and data recovery are increasingly available. Since these large-scale online services require substantial networking, processing, and storage capacities, it has become a considerable challenge to design equally large-scale computing infrastructures that support these services costeffectively. In response to this rising demand, cloud computing has been refined during the past decade and turned into a lucrative business for organizations that own large datacenters and offer their computing resources. Undoubtedly cloud computing provides tremendous benefits for data storage backup and data accessibility at a reasonable cost. This paper aims at surveying and analyzing the previous works proposed for disaster recovery in cloud computing. The discussion concentrates on investigating the positive aspects and the limitations of each proposal. Also examined are discussed the current challenges in handling data recovery in the cloud context and the impact of data backup plan on maintaining the data in the event of natural disasters. A summary of the leading research work is provided outlining their weaknesses and limitations in the area of disaster recovery in the cloud computing environment. An in-depth discussion of the current and future trends research in the area of disaster recovery in cloud computing is also offered. Several work research directions that ought to be explored are pointed out as well, which may help researchers to discover and further investigate those problems related to disaster recovery in the cloud environment that have remained unresolved.

Deletion and Recovery Scheme of Electronic Health Records Based on Medical Certifificate Blockchain

“…Therefore, it is necessary to realize the deletion and recovery of EHR. Data recovery has been extensively studied in the past few years, and with the development of Internet technology, Cloud computing has large data centers, which provide certain benefits for data backup as well as data recovery [14]. But sharing data with a cloud provider may result in a loss of full control over the data, and in the event of any failure of the cloud provider, the security of the stored data will not be guaranteed.…”

Disaster Recovery Plan in Case of Business Interruption and Data Loss

“…Some perils, such as earthquakes, fire, volcanic eruptions and landslides are unpredictable and therefore may present a much bigger threat. [1]…”

“…The RPO defines how much data a company may lose if a disaster occurs. The RPO is typically determined by the modes in which a backup copy is made and kept RPO [1]:…”

“…The RPO is the maximum amount of time in which data loss for a particular app is acceptable in case of a great crisis. The points to be considered for establishing the RPO are [1]: » a possible data loss in case of disaster; » a possible time span before data is compromised.…”

Evaluasi Pengembangan Disaster Recovery Center untuk Data Center Universitas Udayana

“…Tantangan dalam implementasi cloud computing yaitu pada masalah keamanan, model pembiayaan, model pembebanan, SLA (servise level agreement) dan kualifikasi yang harus dimigrasikan [19]. Sistem berbasis layanan cloud computing dengan model Software as a Service pada UMKM mampu memberikan tingkat kepuasan usability yang berada di atas standar [20].…”
