Costs

Protecting Many Workloads

Monitoring

Manual recovery of the many virtual machines that compose services can be

complex and time-consuming - procedures need to be documented and

tested

Recovery

Need to reduce the costs related to downtime

Disaster recovery solutions with synchronous replication are expensive

Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to

costs and complexity

Constant monitoring of services can be challenging

List Price

Automated (Target VMs are

dormant during synchronization)

Yes – allows migration of all

VMs in multi-tier apps IE:SharePoint

to a common consistent point

Free (licenses)

Manual (Target VMs are live

during synchronization)

Manual (Network and endpoint

details have to be manually specified

while provisioning target VM)

No (consistency is per server only)

$295 per migrated instance PLUS

Azure IaaS costs for running live

targets during synchronization

Manual (Only VHD is uploaded

to Azure, VM has to be provisioned

manually)

Manual (NW and endpoint details

have to be manually specified while

creating VM from uploaded VHD)

No (consistency is per

server only)
