IT Administrator

Scenario

Cloud computing provides a cost-effective and efficient disaster recovery (DR) solution, allowing faster recovery from multiple physical locations at a lower cost compared to traditional DR sites.

Building a DR site and testing a business continuity plan can be expensive and time-consuming with fixed assets.

When utilizing cloud-based DR solutions, organizations can replicate their production site and continuously replicate data and configuration settings, saving time and resources.

Backing up data has historically been complex and time-consuming, but cloud-based backup offers significant improvements.

Cloud-based backup allows organizations to automatically dispatch data to any location with assurance of security, availability, and capacity.

Use Case

Use Case Name: Leveraging Cloud-based Disaster Recovery and Data Backup

Primary Actor: IT Administrator

Goal: To implement a cost-effective disaster recovery solution and efficient data backup using cloud computing.

Pre-conditions: The organization has access to cloud-based disaster recovery and backup services.

Post-conditions: The IT administrator can establish a disaster recovery plan that replicates the production site, continuously replicates data and configuration settings, and ensures faster recovery in case of a disaster. The organization can also perform automated data backups with confidence in security, availability, and capacity, leveraging cloud-based backup solutions.
