Cloud systems are increasingly used for BCDR solutions for organizations.
What aspect of cloud computing makes their use for BCDR the most attractive?

  • A. On-demand self-service
  • B. Measured service
  • C. Portability
  • D. Broad network access
Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solutions largely sit idle until they are actually needed. This traditionally has led to increased costs for an organization because physical hardware must be purchased and operational but is not used. By using a cloud system, an organization will only pay for systems when they are being used and only for the duration of use, thus eliminating the need for extra hardware and costs. Portability is the ability to easily move services among different cloud providers. Broad network access allows access to users and staff from anywhere and from different clients, and although this would be important for a BCDR situation, it is not the best answer in this case. On-demand self-service allows users to provision services automatically and when needed, and although this too would be important for BCDR situations, it is not the best answer because it does not address costs or the biggest benefits to an organization.

The most attractive reason is cost. BCDR is an expensive function for the business. This is often judged around balancing business impact versus cost of the solution. within the cloud, the fact that you pay only what you consumed is a key advantage.

Selected Answer: A
It's A. On-demand self-service is one of the primary characteristics of cloud computing that makes it highly attractive for Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) solutions. Organizations can quickly provision resources such as storage, virtual machines, and network configurations without requiring manual intervention. This flexibility ensures rapid scaling and recovery during a disaster.

Selected Answer: A
A. On-demand self-service On-demand self-service allows organizations to quickly provision and scale resources as needed without the need for human intervention from the service provider. This flexibility is crucial for BCDR because it enables businesses to rapidly respond to and recover from disruptions by accessing additional resources, such as storage or computing power, on-demand. This capability helps ensure continuity and resilience in the face of unexpected events.

Measured service and broad access would seem equally valid

Of the options, measured service is the best option - you only pay for what you use - it’s all about the cost. While broad network access is also relevant to BCDR because it would allow personnel access to the network from anywhere and eliminates the cost of transportation/lodging/accommodation in the event of an incident or disaster, it also translates to the cost.

Question #185Topic 1 Other than cost savings realized due to measured service, what is another facet of cloud computing that will typically save substantial costs in time and money for an organization in the event of a disaster? Its a different type of question hence the different answer

Why not Broad network access?

you always check the cost as priority.
