Business Continuity Center (BCC)_Business Continuity

Maintain business continuity and protect data assets through cloud native backup and DR, on-premises-to-cloud backup and DR, and cross-cloud DR.

What Is Business Continuity Center (BCC)

Background

BCC helps you ensure application and data reliability, and maintain business continuity in cloud native, hybrid cloud, and multi-cloud environments.

Cost-effective and Scalable

Business continuity is a shared responsibility between us. Huawei Cloud will provide reliable cloud services for you to efficiently design and run critical applications.

Continuous Resilience Throughout the Lifecycle

Improving business continuity is an ongoing process. BCC drives business resilience by continuously refining proactive strategies—fault prevention, proactive operations, and quick recovery—across every stage of your application's lifecycle.

Why Business Continuity Center (BCC)

A Comprehensive Solution for Business Continuity

BCC provides a comprehensive and flexible cloud backup and DR solution. It enables you to meet service level objective (SLO), recovery point objective (RPO), and recovery time objective (RTO) requirements in a wide range of scenarios.
BCC ensures business continuity across multiple layers, including management, application, compute, storage, and cloud data centers. It offers continuity assurance for production, analysis, and office services in three typical scenarios: cloud native backup and DR, on-premises-to-cloud backup and DR, and cross-cloud DR.
BCC can back up data at a fast speed of 1 GB/s, and can offer an RPO of seconds and an RTO of just a few minutes.
BCC is compatible with mainstream cloud services, Oracle, SQL Server, and mainstream versions of VMware, Hyper-V, and FusionCompute.

Within Huawei Cloud

Challenges

There are a vast range of cloud services, with intricate data replication policies.

Designing a multi-site multi-center architecture is hard.

Solution

Back up data to cloud servers and replicate them across regions.

Deploy databases across AZs to ensure high availability, and use cloud services such as Data Replication Service (DRS) to keep data consistent across different regions.

Use multi-AZ storage policies and cross-region replication (CRR) provided by Object Storage Service (OBS) to keep data consistent across OBS buckets.

Deploy Multi-Site High Availability Service (MAS) for unified DR switchover scheduling, automatic orchestration, and fault testing and drills.

Benefits

Efficient, inexpensive data backup: You can save 20-80% on your first purchase, and back up data 95% faster.

99.999999999% durability of backups: Backups can be locked for a specific period of time as required. Backups are encrypted and stored on encrypted disks for enhanced security.

99.99% of SLO for cross-AZ applications: Cloud services automatically fail over without being perceived by apps.

99.999% of SLO for cross-region applications: Applications deployed across regions can achieve an RPO of seconds and an RTO of minutes.

From On-premises to Huawei Cloud

Challenges

On-premises application components are complicated.

On-premises components, such as databases, require efficient and stable data synchronization solutions.

The on-premises-to-cloud backup and DR solutions are complex and costly.

Solution

Use Cloud Backup and Recovery (CBR) to back up data to the cloud and restore them from the cloud.

Use Storage Disaster Recovery Service (SDRS) to replicate on-premises data to ECSs on the cloud.

Use DRS for to continuously replicate open-source databases to the cloud.

Benefits

An RPO of seconds and RTO of minutes (depending on the data replication latency)

Low TCO, low-cost storage, and on-demand servers

Efficient automation for workflow orchestration by calling cloud service APIs

From Other Clouds to Huawei Cloud

Challenges

Designing a cross-cloud data replication solution is not an easy task.

There are no automatic fault detection and failover solutions for cross-cloud DR.

Solution

Use DRS for continuously replicating data from other clouds to Huawei Cloud databases.

Use MAS for unified scheduling of DR switchovers.

Benefits

An RPO of seconds and RTO of minutes (depending on the data replication latency)

No single-cloud lockout. If a single cloud is faulty, services can be quickly switched over to Huawei Cloud to ensure business continuity.
