Cloud-based systems and services are often ideal options for critical parts of a Business Continuity (BC) or Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP). Research some of the ways this is being done today. Discuss how cloud-based systems support business continuity. How can potential risks be transferred to cloud providers?

Answer A:

Can could based system support business continuity?

The answer is definitely yes.

Explanation:

Cloud-based systems are is a hardware and software hosted by a third party. which enable remote storage of files and in some cases can allow for real time modification (or read and write access) to such documents being stored on it.

A disaster recovery plan (DRP) is a documented procedure or guide which guides an organization's disaster recovery processes so that it is able to recover and or protect IT infrastructure and in the event of a disaster. It usually would contain what needs to be done before and after the occurrence of the disaster.

Answer B

More and more organisations are beginning to recognise the importance of DRP, IT businesses that offer cloud based services now have a product called "Cloud disaster recovery"

This is a service that enables the backup and recovery of remote machines on a cloud-based platform. Cloud disaster recovery is primarily an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution that backs up designated system data on a remote offsite cloud server

The major risk with disasters is the loss of critical business information. Many of the Cloud-based organisations, charge on a monthly basis to keep the information of their clients secured.
