Microsoft Azure
I have discussed some Microsoft Azure solutions that can help to protect your environment in Chapter 3, Backup and Disaster Recovery. In 2016, a lot of companies are looking for hybrid solutions to protect, automate, and monitor workload in Microsoft Azure. These solutions are included in the Microsoft Operations Management Suite (for further information, check http://bit.ly/2baW2hs).
This suite includes several products, which are as follows:
- Azure Site Recovery
- Azure Backup
- Log analytics
- Azure Automation
Azure Site Recovery
As presented in Chapter 3, Backup and Disaster Recovery, Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is a solution which enables you to protect your VMs in Microsoft Azure. ASR is also able to protect VMs between two on-premises datacenters by orchestrating the restart of VMs when the failover occurs. The protection in Microsoft Azure is more cost effective, therefore, the focus will be on this solution.
ASR can be part of a business continuity and disaster recovery strategy...
