In Google enterprise blog post today, Google would like to reminds its enterprise users that Google Apps delivers an alternative to high-priced and complex solutions like the data disaster recovery does.
Synchronous replication is a method that Google Apps used to save user’s info by copy its into a couple data centers at once as a backup and disaster-recovery mechanism. Thus that if one data center goes down, it nearly instantly transfers data over to the other one.
In term of practicality, this means Google users won’t miss any data as it’s transferred from one data center to the other one, and to transfer your data so fast that you don’t even know a data center faces a failure.
According to Mashable.com, this is would be applied to the whole Apps suite along with Gmail services (Google Calendar, Google Docs, as well as Google Sites)
This synchronous replication is applied to the entire Apps suite as well as Gmail (Google Calendar, Google Docs, and Google Sites), with the sales angle being enterprise-class back-up for all at a much lower cost than if companies were to provide or contract separately for their own data redundancy systems.
This method have also adopted by some providers, however it’s even more costly than everything else Google already mentioned. A user may cost up to $ 500 for 25GB of data with synchronous replication.
Google basically reminds enterprise users (include potential users) about one of the compelling advantages of cloud computing. How does your company handle data backup as well as redundancy problems? Do you think cloud computing is the perfect solution to worst-case scenarios?
