mssummit 2014 - azure site recovery and system center
DESCRIPTION
Azure Site Recovery is a cloud-based service that automates virtual machine fail-over across sites. The service integrates with Virtual Machine Manager which manages on-premises Hyper-V servers. Hyper-V Replica technology replicates virtual machine configuration and data across sites. Based on customer feedback, support for SAN replication is important. This session covers the scenarios in scope, solution architecture, and SAN integration using SMI-S.TRANSCRIPT

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

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)
