Disaster Recovery Plans for Small and Medium Businesses

Disaster Recovery Plans for Small and Medium Businesses

Hey Kranthi Abbu,

You did a great work in contributing to this week’s discussion on concepts learned from the risk management course. I agree with you that the discussion involved was much value to the class.Especially the questions posted after a discussion. I also agree that business continuity planning, CSIRT, and disaster recovery planning were some essential concepts from the course (Gross Jr, W. F. (2017).However, I think planning risk mitigation was another vital concept learned from the course. The concept is essential in that it helps one to take action to reduce the possibility of risk occurrence.

Hey Uday Samudrala,

You did a great work of participating in this week’s discussion on important concepts learned from the course. I agree with you that planning risk mitigations and management of threats, vulnerabilities, and exploits are essential concepts from the course. I also agree that lab sessions were significant in that they gave direction to learners on how to develop an outline for risk mitigation (Ager, Kline & Fischer,2015). However, I think discussions were much valuable to the course since the ideas from other students contributed to the development of risk management knowledge.

Hey Bonisha Hiteshkumar Patel,

You did a great work of participating in this week’s discussion on cloud computing. Cloud computing comprises of three models, that is, platform as a Service (PaaS), Software as a Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure as Service. I agree with you that, platform as a Service (PaaS) as a model relates to cloud computing.PaaS enables developing and managing apps by providing a sufficient cloud environment for such services (Skala et al.,2015). However, I think the platform as a Service has database management that helps the control of the application.

Hey Kushal Tiwari,

You did a great job of taking part in this week’s discussion on cloud computing. I agree with you that cloud computing is categorized into three models that provide services to cloud customers. The three models include platform as a Service (PaaS), Infrastructure as Service, and Software as a Service (SaaS) where they are differentiated on the service they provide. I also agree that Amazon Web Services (AWS), IBM Cloud, and Microsoft Azure are some of the companies that offer cloud computing (Varghese & Buyya,2018). However, I think VMware is another company providing cloud computing.

Hey Aditya Korwar,

You did a great work in participating in this week’s discussion on cloud computing perspectives. I agree with you that the differences between consumer and provider perspectives on cloud computing are necessary for improving cloud security. The provider cloud perspective is always concerned with ensuring the provision of proper models. I also agree that provider and consumer cloud perspectives are essential in providing the growth of cloud (Wang, Chen & Wang,2015). However, I think both views are crucial to ensuring the provision of quality cloud services.

Hey Sourav Mukherjee,

You did an excellent job of participating in this week’s discussion on cloud perspectives. I agree with you that it provides cloud perspective concerns in the management of the three models of cloud computing, that are PaaS, IaaS, and SaaS, as they provide services to consumers. I also agree that the consumer cloud perspective is mainly used to ensure consideration of how the models deliver various models (Ratten,2016). The perspectives of the two parties are therefore focused on improving delivery of quality services
