Leveraging Public Clouds to Ensure Data Availability

Abstract

In the event of a disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, or attack by an adversary, a data center hosting large amounts of U.S. Government data could become unavailable within seconds. This fragility requires that the U.S. Government establish strategies for safeguarding and restoring access to data commensurate with operational needs. As it is not possible to move many gigabytes (GB), terabytes(TB), or petabytes (PB) of information across a wide area network in the initial seconds of a disaster, data must be pre-positioned at alternate locations.
