Study and Analysis of a “Disaster Recovery” Information System using Cloud-computing Technology

The registry of a public service, both in printed and electronic form, is a crucial factor for its operation and therefore for the provided services. Natural and technological disasters are unavoidable and therefore ensuring the recovery of the registry is a very important factor for the operation of the administrative unit. Based on current technological trends, the most appropriate solution is to implement a cloud computing information system, which requires the complete digitization of the file, which consists of paper and electronic forms. The administrative unit, which is under study in the present project, consists of a University secretariat. The ultimate goal of the project is to design an information system that responds to the needs and requirements of the unit, at the lowest possible cost and simultaneously to enable a mechanism for data retrieving at any time, even after a possible disaster. The design of the proposed solution will take into account the use of economical and ecological methods, as well as the relevant IT systems already on the market and specifically those have already implemented in administrative units.
