Cloud Economics

Maintaining a secondary datacenter is an expensive proposition. Significant capital is required for the initial build out and ongoing operating expenses add up quickly. In an ideal world, this secondary site will never be used, but realistically, while it may be sitting idle the majority of the time, it may need to be utilized multiple times per year. By leveraging Azure as your secondary DR site, capital and operating expenses are replaced with a pay-as-you-go model, allowing you to pay for the additional compute only when you need it.

Fireminds offers Microsoft Azure Site Recovery to automate the recovery of services when a site outage happens at the primary datacenter. Migrate applications in an orchestrated way to help restore service quickly, even for complex multi-tier workloads. Easily create disaster recovery plans in Microsoft Azure, where your services will be stored. The disaster recovery plans can be as simple or as advanced as your business requirements demand, including the execution of custom Windows PowerShell scripts, Azure Automation runbooks, and pauses for manual interventions. Customize networks by mapping virtual networks between the primary and recovery sites and test disaster recovery plans whenever you want without disrupting the services at your primary location.

Full Featured Disaster RecoveryTested and proven Disaster Recovery solutions for a wide range of workloads, including Microsoft workloads including Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server.

• Protect-to-and-Recover-in-Azure: Replicate and failover your on-premises applications to Azure, negating the need to build and manage a second datacenter for recovery. Reduce expenses and only pay for compute when you need it.

• N-Tier Application Consistency: Detect and stage multi-tier applications and restore them as a group, with specified startup ordering and the ability to insert scripts to bypass the need for manual configurations.

• Application Replication Support: Benefit from using SQL Always ON and Active Directory replication when your databases and infrastructure components need the least possible RTO. Leverage ASR’s inbuilt replication technologies when the same replication technology for all tiers is adequate to meet your application’s recovery objectives.

• No Impact Recovery Plan Testing: Perform periodic disaster recovery drills and testing without any impact to the production or recovery virtual machine.

Automated VM Protection and ReplicationEnable policy-based replication and protection for thousands of virtual machines using a few simple steps.

• At-Scale Configuration: Configure protection and disaster recovery networking settings that apply to your applications or your entire datacenter for seamless recovery.

• Low Recovery Point Objective (RPO): Achieve near-synchronous RPOs, as low as 30s, even when using Azure as your recovery site.

• Quick Recovery: Recover from disruptions within minutes and benefit from Azure’s 99.9% uptime guarantee. • Data Security and Secure Transmission: Data is encrypted when in transit and at rest in Azure.

One-Click Orchestrated Recovery ASR’s Recovery Plans provide a customizable framework to implement automated and custom recovery sequencing.

• Automated Failover and Manual Actions: Leverage scripts and Azure Automation Runbooks to achieve optimal RTO and reduce human errors during recovery.

• Automated Failback and Reverse Replication: Failing back to your primary datacenter is just as important as the initial failover. With ASR it is as easy as one click, and comes with the same data protection guarantee as failovers.

Remote Health Monitoring and Extensibility

With ASR, you also get proactive, continuous monitoring and alerting on issues before your business is impacted. Meet audit and compliance requirements using our robust reporting capabilities.
