Week 11 - BSIT - 400-T320 Cloud Computing & Governance - Disaster Recovery

        Disaster recovery (DR) is an essential strategy that enables organizations to quickly recover from incidents that disrupt operations, ensuring data integrity, system uptime, and business continuity. DR involves various strategies, each designed to meet specific needs in terms of downtime tolerance, data recovery, and budget. Choosing the right strategy depends on the organization’s size, reliance on real-time data, and acceptable recovery time and data loss levels, known as Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). Key DR strategies range from simple backup and restore methods to advanced options like hot sites and Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). Basic backup and restore solutions are cost-effective and suitable for small businesses with limited recovery needs, while cold sites and warm sites offer more infrastructure but still involve some delay in recovery. Hot sites provide immediate failover capabilities but come at a high cost, making them ideal for enterprises with minimal tolerance for downtime. Cloud-based disaster recovery and DRaaS offer scalable, flexible solutions managed by third-party providers, supporting both data and application recovery with minimal downtime.

To create an effective DR plan, organizations should assess potential risks, set realistic RTO and RPO targets, and select a strategy that balances recovery needs with budget constraints. Regular testing and updates are essential to ensure DR plans remain effective and responsive to evolving business needs. With the right approach, organizations can safeguard their critical systems and maintain operations even during a disaster.

Week 3 Posting - RAM Making Your Everyday Tasks Easier

          Random Access Memory is your computer’s short-term memory, unlike the long-term memory with a hard drive or SSD, RAM stores date temporality while your computer is running. When you open an application or a file, your computer loads it into RAM for quick access. This allows your computer to do tasks faster because accessing data from the RAM is much quicker than fetching it from storage. The more RAM you have the more applications and data your computer can handle without slowing down. RAM is good for multitasking, gaming, video editing, and resource-intensive tasks. In conclusion, RAM is kind of the unsung hero of your computer, enabling it to handle tasks swiftly and efficiently. Understanding its significance can help you make informed decisions about upgrading your system’s memory for a better computer experience.

Week 1 - BSIT220-T301 Network Mgmt & Infrastructure

                  This is my 2 nd blog I have done, and my 13 th blog post I have ever done, did one a week in my previous class here at Bellevue. I would say I have some knowledge about the Network+ and Network models from my previous college. At Southeast Tech we got to work on all sorts of network equipment and troubleshoot it as well. We worked on servers, routers, switches, access points, and more. We got to build networks on server racks and ping and use all sorts of commands, so I have a nice background with information, and I am excited to learn more about that as well as the Network+ certification and what it takes to get that.
