Microsoft Azure | Get Started with Azure Site Recovery

$5,600 per minute! That’s what your IT downtime is costing you on average… We know, it’s expensive! When your systems experience a failure, cyber-attack, natural disaster, or “just” an accidental data deletion, costs can be astronomical. Using Azure Site Recovery (ASR) services, you can keep doing business, even during major IT outrages.

Azure Site Recovery is a native disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) from Microsoft. in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for Disaster Recovery as a Service by Gartner, Microsoft has been recognized as a leader in DRaaS based on completeness of vision and ability to execute. The ASR offers ease of deployment, cost-effectiveness, and dependability. Deploy replication, failover, and recovery processes to help keep your applications running during planned and unplanned outages.

Certain companies are only using Azure Backup (AB) for their disaster recovery plan; However, even if they think it should be enough to keep their business running, they soon realize that having copies of their data is not enough during an important IT outrage. That is why Azure Site Recovery is essential to keeping your companies’ data current and viable for recovery.  This can help a business recover from an outage within minutes, with near-zero data loss and minimal impact on the company and customers.

Customized DR | With ASR, forget about the “one-size-fits-all” approach to business continuity. With the help of a managed IT Cloud specialist, you can build an entirely customized disaster recovery plan to fit your own requirements.

Service level management | Service management is essential to ASR. Near zero data loss can be achieved to meet existing Recovery point objectives (RPOs). This means there’s minimal downtime and data loss, or business disruption.

Workload replication | ASR seamlessly migrates your on-site workloads and apps to numerous secondary sites including Azure’s own virtual machines (VMs) and physical servers. So, whether you’re looking for on-site or remote management, ASR makes sure your critical data don’t get lost.

Failover | When you deploy ASR across your business, you don’t have to worry about outrage anymore. If an outage happens, all you do is log in to your secondary location and access your replicated workloads from there.

Failback | Want to switch back from your failover site to your primary environment? No problem. ASR lets you move straight back to your original environment without losing any data or changes you’ve made to files.

Security Week’s research has shown that data loss at the enterprise level has increased more than 400% over the past few years and will continue to increase.

Nobody likes to think about their business getting impacted by a disaster, and hopefully, you will never experience it, but data shows that you are likely to face some level of compromise along the road.
