Disaster Recovery in Azure

Disaster recovery on Microsoft Azure

If you're looking to move a workload from your on-premises setup to Azure, it's important to have a disaster recovery plan. Azure Site Recovery is a service that helps you coordinate disaster recovery for your services and VMs.

It orchestrates all replication, failover, and recovery steps using virtual appliances in your data center or cloud environment. This guide explains how to implement such a DR plan for an existing virtual infrastructure hosted on-premises.

Azure Site Recovery is a service that helps you coordinate disaster recovery for your services and VMs. It orchestrates all replication, failover, and recovery steps. This means you can use Azure Site Recovery to help you recover from a wide range of disasters.

For example, Azure Site Recovery can automate the process if a fire or flood has damaged your on-premises data center and you need to restore your VMs quickly. This will enable you to continue supporting critical applications while being moved to another location where they can be restored in minutes rather than hours or days.

Site Recovery orchestrates all replication, failover, and recovery steps when configured.

You'll learn how to:

• Plan for DR

• Implement DR

The DR process depends on the solution you choose to use.

The DR process depends on the solution you choose to use. Some solutions require a single recovery site, while others require two or more. Some solutions allow for a single recovery plan, while others require multiple plans. And some solutions have a single subscription for all of their services, while others have multiple subscriptions with different features and functions that need to be managed together.

Before you begin planning your DR scenario, review these general guidelines.

Understand the various options available to you. The first step in building a disaster recovery plan is understanding the options for protecting your business.

For example, cloud-based solutions can be part of a multi-site architecture that offers greater flexibility and reduced costs relative to deploying separate on-premises servers at each location.

You also have several alternatives when it comes to choosing where your backups are stored, such as on-premises storage or Azure Blob Storage, and what type of backup solution will work best given the size and complexity of your organization's data environment:

Manual backups require human intervention but free up resources so they can focus on other tasks while ensuring that critical data has been backed up regularly.

Automated daily backups are designed to run unattended while freeing IT staff from manual processes.

 Conclusion

Azure Site Recovery is the best choice for disaster recovery because it can replicate all your workloads without dedicating an entire infrastructure to it. It also provides the option of automated failover in unexpected downtime on-premises.

Also, it reduces infrastructure costs, it knows that building a secondary data center, monitoring, patching, and maintaining is expensive, by using Azure Site Recovery, you eliminate the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
