WHY CUSTOMERS ARE ADOPTING CLOUD COMPUTING WITH Google Cloud?

Using a cloud computing platform service like Google Cloud provides companies with numerous benefits. Faster time to market– Since you don’t have to worry about the underlying infrastructure or platform and only focus on developing the functionality of your business application it is completed in a fraction of the time, thus reducing your time to market. Reduced costs– Since you are only paying for what you are using, the pay-as-you-grow model, reduces the upfront costs. Since Google Cloud can pass on volume discounts to their customers the ongoing costs are also lower than if you were to host the full platform yourself. Increased scalability– As your customer base grows and the usage of your application increases you can just add additional capacity to make sure your application is running smoothly. You don’t ever have to worry about running out of server capacity. More flexibility and creativity– Applications are very quickly deployed to the Windows Google Cloud platform which means that changes are applied without any downtime.

Google Cloud Storage

Google Cloud Storage is a suite of scalable, secure, and cost-effective cloud storage services offered by Amazon Web Services.

At Marcus, we understand that every business has unique storage and data management needs. That's why we offer customized consulting services tailored to each client's specific requirements. Our services cover design and implementation, migration, backup and recovery, and data management, ensuring that our clients can leverage the full potential of Google Cloud storage services.

Marcus Advantage

Marcus has specialized certified professionals on storage services, including the team of the Google Cloud Certified Advanced Networking – Specialty, which makes a combination of experts, who can cater to any kind of storage requirements.

The team has advanced skills and knowledge in designing and deploying storage solutions on Google Cloud:

• Hybrid storage setup.
• Cloud to cloud backup (EC2, RDS, other workloads to Google Cloud S3 storage classes).
• Google Cloud cloud to on-premises.
• DR setup from on-premises to Google Cloud cloud and vice-versa.

We help our clients in achieving the encryption on transit, at rest and make sure that the data is securely stored and transited.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) goals – depending upon our customer's requirements to achieve the RTO and RPO in Google Cloud Storage. As a customer, you need to consider your business requirements, application criticality, and cost considerations. RTO defines the maximum acceptable downtime for your application or service, while RPO defines the acceptable data loss in case of a disaster.

Define the right RTO and RPO Strategy:

• Understand your business requirements: Determine the criticality of your application or service. Identify the impact of downtime on your business operations, customer experience, revenue, and reputation. Consider any regulatory or compliance requirements that may affect your RTO and RPO.
• Assess your data: Determine the criticality of your data and how frequently it changes. Some data may require near real-time replication, while for other data, periodic backups may be sufficient. Identify the data sets that require the highest level of protection and prioritize them accordingly.
• Explore Google Cloud storage options: Google Cloud offers various storage services that can help you meet your RTO and RPO requirements. Some of the relevant services include Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Store), Amazon Glacier, and Google Cloud Backup. Each service has different characteristics in terms of durability, availability, and recovery options.
• Replication and backup strategies: Depending on your requirements, you can choose different replication and backup strategies. For lower RTO and RPO, you may consider using multi-region replication or Cross-Region Replication (CRR) for services like Amazon S3 or Amazon EBS. This ensures that your data is available in multiple geographically separate locations, reducing the risk of data loss.
• Utilize Google Cloud backup services: Google Cloud Backup provides a centralized backup management solution for various Google Cloud services, including EBS volumes, RDS databases, DynamoDB tables, and more. It simplifies the backup process and allows you to define backup schedules, retention policies, and recovery workflows.
• Test your recovery procedures: Regularly test your recovery procedures to ensure they meet your RTO and RPO goals. Conduct simulated disaster recovery exercises to validate the effectiveness of your backup and restore processes. Identify any potential bottlenecks or issues and make necessary adjustments to improve your recovery capabilities.
• Cost considerations: Achieving lower RTO and RPO typically involves higher costs due to the need for additional resources and redundant infrastructure. Evaluate the cost implications of your chosen storage and backup strategies and ensure they align with your budget constraints.

Assess Your Current Disaster Recovery Plan

Team Operisoft can review your current disaster recovery plan (if you have one) and identify gaps and weaknesses in your strategy. We can evaluate your current infrastructure, processes, and procedures to determine if they are sufficient to recover your data and systems in the event of a disaster.

Identify Risks and Threats

We can help you identify potential risks and threats to your business, such as natural disasters, cyber-attacks, hardware failure, or human error. We provide recommendations on how to mitigate these risks and implement a comprehensive disaster recovery plan.

Recommend the Right Cloud Storage Solution:

Our storage experts can recommend the right cloud storage solution for your business based on your budget, data requirements, and disaster recovery needs. They can evaluate different cloud storage providers and their disaster recovery capabilities to ensure your data is protected and accessible at all times.

Develop a DR Plan

Our experts can help you develop a disaster recovery plan that includes detailed procedures for data backup, data recovery, and business continuity. We can work with you to establish recovery time objectives (RTOS) and recovery point objectives (RPOs) to ensure you can recover from a disaster as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Test and Update Your Plan:

We not only consultant but help you test and update your disaster recovery plan on a regular basis to ensure it remains effective and up-to-date. We conduct regular disaster recovery drills and simulations to identify potential issues and make necessary adjustments.
