Abstract: Over the years, the ‘cloud’ has gained increasing traction in assisting organisations to become more resilient. Building on such successes as migrating office applications using Office 365, organisations are now looking to move disaster recovery to the cloud as a viable solution to protect critical applications at the time of disaster. This paper explores one organisation’s journey through the maze that is disaster recovery cloud deployment. Using a case study format, it will explore the organisation’s previous experience with cloud applications, the challenges it faced, the solutions put in place to address those challenges, the results of the deployment, the risks, and finally the benefits of the solution going forward. Finally, the paper will walk the reader through the ten steps that an organisation should take to move its own disaster recovery environment to the cloud.
