Cloud Data Resilience
Coverage from The Register, CRN, and others
Cloud data resilience is about keeping hosted information available and recoverable when infrastructure fails on a scale that defeats a provider’s built-in redundancy.
Damage to AWS facilities in Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates showed how a physical event affecting multiple availability zones can make data unrecoverable, even within a cloud region designed for resilience. The subject also includes the practical value of geographically separate or inter-cloud backups, and whether organizations can access those copies and restore workloads when they need them.
