Srinivasa Rao Thumala

Abstract: BCDR approaches are now the necessary components of modern, new - era organizations' march in this era where cyber threats, natural catastrophes, and operational disruptions are alarmingly on the rise. Based on the specific relevance that has been given to a cloud computing environment via specific comparisons among the solutions offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure, this paper will elaborate why BCDR is important. These scalabilities, features, price, and integration differences make up a research subject for an action plan on the adoption of organizations into a cloud - based BCDR strategy. Its best practices and some of the emerging trends shape the BCDR landscape through which the study culminates.
