Disaster Recovery and the Cloud: Best Practices

Disaster Recovery and the Cloud: Best Practices:

"Now that the notion of cloud computing has gained some stature in the IT community, a lot of vendors are looking at cloud computing as a disaster recovery solution.

After all, if you can provision a cloud to take over for your IT operations after a disaster strikes, there are a lot of benefits. You can have the cloud systems properly configured and ready to go, but you don't have to pay for them until you actually need them. Or, if the price is right, you can set up an always-on network or authentication server that will instantly switch over should your primary systems go down."
