Planning For Azure Site Recovery? Here’s What You Need to Know

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is a DRaaS solution that provides failover protection for virtual infrastructure and physical workloads. In other words, it can safeguard your on-premises data during an outage or disaster as well as provide recovery services from the cloud.

Azure Site Recovery provides data replication, workload transfer, and recovery orchestration services. It also allows IT organizations to test DR failover without impacting production workloads, allowing them to scale resources on demand.

Any recovery strategy must contain all three basic elements of people, processes, and technology. Technology can be utilized to automate specific procedures and replace some human labor requirements.

All applications, be they hosted on-premises applications, on public clouds (both internal and SaaS), as well as structured data, and unstructured data, all need to be managed, This makes for a high number of possible permutations, which makes data protection all the more challenging.

The combination of highly automated off-site recovery capabilities with the cost-effectiveness of on-demand cloud economics leaves the modern IT firm with no excuse for not being completely DR-equipped.
