“Familiar” DR Solutions• Storage replication• Stretch cluster using
single vLAN with single address space
• Active / passive• Dynamic incoming
connection failover
Effective, although expensive to deploy and maintain
Normally tied to hardware vendor specific technologies
Difficult to perform partial failovers

The DR challenge
Your on-prem IT platformYour datacenter
• Historically challenging– Complicated solutions– Required end-to-end planning and design– Vendor lock-in– In most cases “pretty” expensive
• Commodity solutions are now in the market– Public cloud offerings– OPEX vs. CAPEX for your DR = it’s way cheaper!!!!
Reasons to reconsider your DR today
- Monthly scheduled reboots “maintenance plan”
- Backup or long term data solution (but having a backup already helps… )
- “I can blame it on the IT guy anyway”
D/R is not…

Azure Backup
Introducing Azure Backup
Simple and reliable data backup to the cloud
• Offsite FILES & FOLDERS data protection in Microsoft Azure storage
• Integrated with existing data protection tools
• Coolest integration with Server Essentials Experience
• Efficient use of resources
Azure Backup enhances Microsoft backup tools with cloud backup capabilities
Introducing Backup to Azure
Simple and reliable server backup to the cloud
• Offsite FULL SYSTEM BACKUPS data protection in Microsoft Azure storage
• Integrated with existing data protection tools
• Efficient use of resources

When to Choose Backup to Azure
Protected ServerSystem Center
DPM or any 3rd party B2D
File ServerSQL
Exchange
Or
Already using System Center Data Protection Manager or any other Backup-to-Disk solution? Azure Backup integrates easily
Small business or branch office? Azure Backup integrates with the in-box Windows Server backup tool
How Azure Backup Works
4. Backup
2. Install Agent
1. Sign Up
Window Server 2012 R2
3. Register and Configure
5. Recover - to the same or a different server

5. Recover - to the same or a different server
Encrypted Data
Microsoft DPM or 3rd party backup to Azure
Data is encrypted on-premises…
Security on all layers
Encrypted HTTPS traffic
… so the data is encrypted on the network…
… and remains encrypted while stored
• Only you have your key• Protect your key• Data cannot be recovered without your key• Microsoft does not have your key

1. On-Prem to On-Prem• SC VMM required at
all locations• Direct routable access
between each site (to allow HVR to replicate)
• Secondary and territory replication targets supported
• Recovery plans managed by yourself
• Failover managed by yourself
ASR Deployment Options
On-prem Hyper-V hosts Azure
2. On-Prem to Azure • SC VMM required at primary location
• ASR plug-in installed in all Hyper-V hosts to allow replication to and from Azure
• Recovery plans managed by yourself
• Failover managed by yourself
ASR Deployment Options
On-prem Hyper-V hosts Service provider
3. On-Prem to validated service provider • SC VMM required at primary location
• Publishing of Hyper-V hosts required to allow replication
• Recovery plans managed by service provider
• Failover managed by service provider
Azure Site Recovery Manager
• Protect important services bycoordinating replication and recovery of VMM-managed private clouds
• Automates replication of VMs within clouds between sites
• Hyper-V Replica provides replication, orchestrated by Azure Site Recovery Manager
• Can be used for planned, unplanned and testing failover between sites
• Integrate with scripts for customization of recovery plans

Azure Site Recovery – Step-by-Step
Step 1 : Create a vault Create an Azure Site Recovery vault.
Step 2 : Create a Hyper-V Site Create a Hyper-V site as a logical container for all the Hyper-V servers that contain virtual machines you want to protect.
Step 3 : Prepare Hyper-V Servers Generate a registration key and download the Provider setup file. You run the file on each Hyper-V server in the site and select the key to register the server in the vault.
Step 4 : Prepare Resources Create an Azure storage account to store replicated virtual machines.
Step 5 : Create and configure Protection Groups Create a protection group and apply protection settings to it. The protection settings will be applied to every virtual machine you add to the group.
Step 6 : Enable Protection for VM’s Enable protection for virtual machines by adding them to a protection group.
Step 7 : Test Deployment Run a test failover for a virtual machine.
3. Deploy Provider on VMM and Host Agent on Hosts
