Customer Case Studies…Paul Smith

Six years ago, British fashion designer Paul Smith had a goal to optimize its IT function. It sought a vendor that offered interoperable, foundational technologies with the right combination of innovation and value. Paul Smith embraced the Microsoft cloud operating system vision and built an agile, responsive global IT infrastructure, managed by only 15 people, so IT can provide efficient services to ensure that the business continues to play a leading role in the fashion industry—while keeping costs down. Along the way, Paul Smith used Windows Server, Hyper-V, and Microsoft System Center hybrid cloud and data center technologies to virtualize more than 80 percent of its servers, improve data center density by 200 percent, and save more than £840,000 (US$1.4 million) in IT costs in one year. It also reduced recovery time from 48 hours to 5 minutes for its mission-critical applications.

Aston MartinThe team at Aston Martin wanted to improve their company’s resilience and DR capabilities by developing multisite data and services replication. With Windows Server 2012, System Center 2012 R2, and Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager they built a DR program that minimizes downtime to a matter of minutes, streamlines ongoing administration, and provides a platform for ongoing DR growth and planning.

United AirlinesFollowing the merger with Continental Airlines, United needed to consolidate two different IT infrastructures into a single, unified, highly available system. With Windows Server and System Center they reduced costs while improving business continuity.

Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical CenterThe IT team at Dartmouth used Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 to create a disaster recovery solution and streamline data center management in a way that was cost-effective, ensured uninterrupted healthcare delivery, and reduced IT costs.

Customer Case StudiesSika AGAfter many acquisitions, Sika had a very diverse and decentralized IT infrastructure that spanned about 130 different sites. A comprehensive management plan was needed, and DR was a big part of it. Sika used Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, and Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager to build a cost-effective disaster recovery solution that protects workloads running in more than 100 offices around the world.

Convergent ComputingThis service provider wanted to offer its customers all the benefits of Hybrid Cloud computing. To support the workloads of these customers, Convergent needed a great DR program. To build this full Hybrid offering, Convergent used Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2, Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager, and Windows Azure Pack. Since deploying this Hybrid support, Convergent has seen improved flexibility/agility and their IT costs have been cut in half.

Marquette UniversityMarquette wanted to extend their DR strategy to include workloads as well as its archived data. Also, in the event of a disaster, they wanted the transition from their primary site to a secondary site to be as seamless as possible. To do this, they deployed a fully Hybrid solution featuring Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager, Windows Server 2012 R2, and System Center 2012 R2. Marquette now has a highly automated disaster recovery solution in place, and workloads that previously took days to recover can now be restored in minutes.

Pošta SlovenijeThe national postal service of Slovenia wanted to begin providing hosting services as an additional source of revenue. In order for this venture to be successful, they needed a powerful, easy-to-operate DR solution. Since deploying Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager, System Center 2012 R2, Pošta Slovenije has enjoyed increased availability, dramatically simpler DR administration, and improved security – all at lower costs than before.

Recovery Plan

Unit that fails over together

• Defines a collection of VM that will be recovered together.

• Typically models an application.

Dependency modelling

• Specify the order in which the VMs of a recovery plan need to be booted by using groups.

• VMs of same group failover in parallel.

• Shutdown is in reverse order of recovery to ensure 0 data loss.

Extensible Recovery plans

• Add custom actions to a recovery plan in between the groups.

Value Props of Recovery plan

Test Failover

• Recover the VM to Azure without affecting the primary site workload.

• VM can come up in an isolated environment.

Planned Failover

• Recover VM by safely turning off the VM on the primary site and sending latest changes.

• Ensures 0 data loss.

• VM boots up on Azure. Active location changes to Microsoft Azure.

Unplanned Failover Without

primary site operations

• Recover VM when the primary site is no longer reachable.

• May have data loss.

• VM boots up on Azure. Active location changes to Microsoft Azure.

Unplanned failover with primary site operations

• Attempts to shutdown VM and send latest changes.

• If attempt fails, goes ahead with the recovery to ensure better RTO.

• Microsoft partnered with Riverbed® for early tests

• ~70% data reduction on traffic to Windows Azure

• On-premises Riverbed SteelHead sends optimized traffic to SteelHead CX hosted in Azure

• Replication always over HTTPS

Optimizing Replication Traffic

Luck is a very thin wire between survival and disaster, and not many people can keep their balance on it.
