  7. Example use for Cloud • Internet scale web applications • Many Mobile devices connecting to cloud • Development/Test environment • Dynamic provisioning of dev/test resources • Applications with seasonality swings • Large scale data analysis • Financial risk calculations, Government statistical data • Backup and disaster recovery

  8. Enterprise DR under pressure? Good DR is only affordable for a few applications • DR requirement is growing due to reputation risks, customer expectations, regulations • Infrastructure for DR is expensive, cost is increasing • Lack of confidence in initiating a recovery (too long, too much loss), uncertain integrity • Good DR coverage • Higher priority applications • Limited coverage No cover
