Why Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS)?
- Traditional DR implementations are complex, costly with higher RPO & RTO and very difficult to test & validate
- Protect your environment by automating the replication of the virtual machines using Azure Site Recovery
- Use Azure or your secondary datacenter as your recovery site
- Easy Failback Capabilities & reduced RTO & RPO with low cost
- Protect Microsoft Hyper-V, VMware, and physical servers
- Easily create Disaster Recovery plans (No impact DR testing)
- Data encrypted while in replication and at rest
Steps for Implementation
Day 1-2: Discovery/Assessment
- Business Impact Analysis (BIA) for Application
- Requirements for RTO and RPO
- Application Assessment/Infrastructure Assessment
- Identify prerequisites and dependencies
Day 2-6: Design/Implementation
- DR Cost Estimate Creation and Approval (Protection Cost/Running Cost)
- DR Architecture Design
- Define DR Procedures and Processes
- Implementation and configuration of DR environment using ASR
- Replication of data and completion of protection
Day 7-10: Test/Pilot
- No impact test failover to cloud
- Validation of DR processes and procedures
- Validation of RTO & RPO
- Full DR Drill (failover & failback) of Production environment
- Finalize DR procedure documents
Note
- This service and commercials are defined for a single two-tier application consisting one instance of web & database each
- This is a standard offering, the price may change based on the complexity of the application & environment
