Cloud resilience, know why you need it

Because digital transformation occurs on the cloud, cloud resilience has become a fundamental factor for success.

The ability to anticipate and minimize downtime is essential to maintaining reputation and customer satisfaction.

Since the pandemic, the digital transformation not only accelerated but, without a doubt, was installed in the cloud.

This has represented a fundamental change in the management of infrastructure as well as company operations. On the one hand.

On the other hand, it has diversified the risks and threats for those same operations. Because a good part of the companies have transformed themselves on the fly, they did not have the tools to face the risks.

This is why resilience has been gaining importance, especially in SMEs.

Let us remember that resilience is the ability of systems, applications or technological infrastructures to resist and recover from:

  • Interruptions
  • Failures
  • Incidents
  • The attacks

Resilience is the factor that allows maintaining the functionality and performance of operations, beyond these incidents.

In this way, companies can protect:

  • Business continuity
  • Sensitive data
  • and customer trust

Cultivate resilience

Of course, each organization and its critical applications have unique availability requirements.

Complex systems are susceptible to a variety of failures, both small and large, including:

  • Code implementation issues
  • Infrastructure
  • Status and data interruptions
  • Human errors
  • Natural disasters
  • and cyber attacks

Therefore, organizations must anticipate and plan for potential system outages, and design solutions to withstand and recover quickly with the least impact to their end users.

By incorporating critical applications into the cloud such as:

  • On line bank
  • Stock Trading
  • Enterprise resource planning (ERP)
  • Or online sales platforms

Increased uptime requirements have become a condition for business success.

“In the cloud, it is essential to deeply understand the unique risks of businesses, to plan not only for known vulnerabilities, but also for unknown threats,” explained Escala 24×7 CEO, Alejandro Planas.
