Private and public clouds can make high-quality DR/COOP more affordable — if you don’t undermine yourself with outmoded assumptions.

While the costs can be high, cloudifying your first-line defense against business interruptions can deliver a more resilient infrastructure, with better physical security and redundant power, telecom, and data links. And it’s not as if maintaining a separate DR site, replete with miles of tape shipped to a vault and a “testing strategy” that involves checkboxes in a binder, is all that cheap, either.
