Symantec™ Disaster Recovery OrchestratorOne Click Disaster Recovery to the Cloud

Data Sheet: Enable the Agile Data Center

Symantec™ Disaster Recovery Orchestrator enables

businesses to automate and manage the takeover and failback

of Microsoft Windows-based applications residing on

premises in either physical or virtual machines (VMs) to the

Microsoft Azure cloud. Disaster Recovery Orchestrator

replicates application data and fully automates end-to-end

application recovery. Using Disaster Recovery Orchestrator to

target the cloud for disaster recovery can significantly reduce

costs while achieving stringent Recovery Time Objectives

(RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).

recovery for high RTOs

recovery operations and reports

FFully automatedully automated

With a single click, Disaster Recovery Orchestrator will

automatically recover your business applications to the

Microsoft Azure cloud. Using both its recovery control,

automation, and replication capabilities, Disaster Recovery

Orchestrator can perform a takeover within minutes. When a

disaster recovery (DR) event occurs, Disaster Recovery

Orchestrator will automatically handle:

• Replication reversal or takeover

• Instantiation of the application recovery VMs

• Accessibility of replicated data

• Start up of the application and its dependencies in the

correct order

CoCosst-efft-effectiveective

Most DR solutions have a 1:1 pairing between the source and

disaster recovery system or application targets. Disaster

Recovery Orchestrator uses a consolidated replication target

within your Azure subscription to eliminate the need for

always on application VMs. Application VMs are instantiated

in Azure only during the disaster recovery event. This

approach significantly reduces the compute costs incurred

within Microsoft Azure.

Fire drill capabilitFire drill capabilityy

Once an application is DR protected, users can easily test

whether the configuration works by performing a fire drill. A

fire drill tests the recovery of an application without

disrupting the production environment, by bringing up a copy

of the application and its replicated data in a fire drill

network. Disaster recovery testing gives confidence in the

consistency and recoverability of both the application and the

associated data.

Continuous replicationContinuous replication

Disaster Recovery Orchestrator performs real time replication

to ensure Recovery Point Objectives [RPOs] are measured in

minutes not days. Application data is replicated with no

performance impact to the application. The replication

engine's write order fidelity capability helps to ensure

replicated data consistency independent of the application.

CentralizCentralized management consoleed management console

The Disaster Recovery Orchestrator console is always

available in the Microsoft Azure cloud, and provides an end-

to-end configuration wizard experience that has the same look

and feel of the Microsoft Azure Management Portal. The

console manages all DR operations – including takeover,

failback, fire drill and reporting.
