Site-local redundancy isn’t enough for mission critical infrastructure or applications.
It seems that maybe even more today, the threat of regional power outages, fiber network disruption, or natural disasters grows greater. Savvy enterprise and ‘cloud-builders’ therefore attempt to ensure minimal downtime by spreading their applications data across multiple ‘geo-diverse’ locations.
There are a many architectural choices that can be used to achieve this geo-diversity. These solutions will often be selected in terms of costs, RTO, RPO, and available bandwidth transfer speeds as outlined in our previous article ‘The Evolution of Disaster Recovery Planning’.
For those that operate a single infrastructure cloud environment, Server Cloud Canada would represent a distributed extension.
