How does cloud computing handle data recovery compared to on-premise systems?

  • Cloud computing provides more robust disaster recovery measures for faster data recovery. (correct)
  • Data recovery is equally complex and time-consuming in both cloud and on-premise systems.
  • Cloud computing depends on local backups, while on-premise systems offer offsite recovery.
  • On-premise systems offer better security and disaster recovery due to physical control.

Study Notes

On-Premise vs. Cloud Computing

  • On-premise setups have higher costs and fewer scaling options than cloud computing.
  • Cloud computing scales up or down easier and faster with pay-as-you-go pricing.
  • On-premise systems require considerable server space, power, and maintenance.
  • Cloud computing solutions save money and space via provider management and maintenance.
  • On-premise systems typically offer less data security and require constant security monitoring.
  • Cloud computing systems ensure better security and faster data recovery through robust disaster recovery.
  • On-premise systems entail additional hardware and software maintenance teams, raising costs.
  • Cloud computing systems decrease costs and resource allocation, due to cloud service provider maintenance.

Cloud Computing Explained

  • Cloud computing provides on-demand computing services over the internet, using a pay-as-you-go model.
  • Cloud computing handles files and services over the internet cost-effectively, instead of storing these locally.

Deployment Models

  • Public Cloud: Cloud infrastructure is public and owned by cloud service providers.
  • Private Cloud: Cloud infrastructure is operated exclusively by a single organization, managed internally or by a third party.
  • Hybrid Cloud: A combination of public and private cloud functionalities.

Service Models

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This provides access to basic computing infrastructure, so users can manage data, runtime environments, middleware, applications, and operating systems.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS): This delivers cloud platforms and runtime environments for application development, testing, and management; users only handle applications and data.
  • Software as a Service (SaaS): This gives cloud services to host and manage software applications, with providers handling all components.
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Google Cloud Platform
