Statement of Work (SOW)

Service Overview

As various industries are migrating their services to the cloud, they have increasingly high requirements for data security and service continuity on the cloud. These industries are represented by financial sectors, government organizations, telecommunications, and manufacturing. Their investments in cloud backup and disaster recovery (DR) have been growing year by year. However, establishing a cloud backup and DR system requires advanced technologies and expertise with a large-scale investment. Enterprises lack professionals for end-to-end construction and are in urgent need of guidance from experts in related fields.

To address these issues, Huawei Cloud rolls out the backup and DR consulting service to help customers analyze the status of cloud backup and DR construction. This service helps identify current weaknesses and risks, plan backup and DR, and design architecture. It aims to provide development directions and suggestions on planning a secure, compliant, and reliable backup and DR system.

Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery Consulting Planning Service

Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery Diagnosis

Surveys and analyzes customers' service system, identifies the weaknesses and risks of the current system, and makes the following preliminary suggestions on establishing a backup and DR system:

Information collection and analysis: Collects and analyzes the service type, scale, home organization, and distribution, and organizes all information of the specified service system.

IT infrastructure survey: Surveys the IT status of the current production center in terms of compute, storage, network, database, and middleware. Provides suggestions for establishing cloud backup and DR system by analyzing the problems of current resources at each layer.

Service system survey and application association analysis: Surveys and analyzes each service system in terms of functions, logical architecture, and application dependencies.

Enterprises need consulting and planning services from backup and DR experts to set up a cloud backup and DR system.

Cloud Backup and Disaster Recovery Planning & Design – Small

Based on the analysis and diagnosis, plans and designs the construction of customers' cloud backup and DR system in the following ways:

Policy design: Formulates the overall policy framework and roadmap in terms of service impact and risk analysis, feasibility, and cost analysis by referring to other cloud vendors' backup and DR construction and O&M, in compliance with international and national laws and regulations, standards, specifications, and supervision requirements.

Technical architecture design: Based on the overall plan and site requirements, designs the backup or DR architecture at layers of storage, hosts, database and middleware, application, and access. Formulates technical policies and specifications, selects technologies, and outputs a service list.

Recovery planning: Specifies required organizations and their responsibilities for recovering disasters. Develops the emergency response steps and standardizes the process of event rating and service recovery or switchover in disasters.
