Since the start of our encounter with Azure data Recovery, we've had no issues. The only drawback is that it does not provide the protection of virtual machines whose discs are Docker since it sees this as an incorrect circumstance.

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Site Recovery from other similar products?

The best-to-best solution that we deployed and used as a DR solution was Azure Site Recovery (ASR). To enable your DR solution for your business applications, ASR offers a number of options. Azure RTO is really quick, and it includes a number of options and internal integration that make managing the infrastructure simple. We also employed a backup and disaster recovery service.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

With lightning-fast efficiency, Azure Site Recovery builds copies of virtual machines that are utilized in other parts of the business and adds all the data to the active physical servers. As a result, the data cannot be changed by outside parties, and since it is so secure, many database systems can be examined.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Although AWS EC2 is supported as the primary location, it only works one way, making failback impossible. It is helpful for moving away from AWS but not for boosting resilience. Failure to return from Azure can consume a lot of outbound traffic and raise your monthly Azure charges. Due to the complexity of the VMWare arrangement, extra servers must be deployed locally.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With Azure Site Recovery, you can set your production practices to fail over to a different site using a fail step-over strategy, keeping your business operational. The description claims that the solution can be utilized with both physical servers and virtual machines from VMware and AWS, which is also fantastic.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Enables Productivity

What differentiates Microsoft Azure Site Recovery from other similar products?

Utilizing and testing Azure Site Recovery is quite simple. It is initially set up simply for region-to-region redundancy, but you can quickly customize it for each virtual machine to suit your needs. Compared to many other goods, it is considerably more straightforward and simple for using.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The fact that Azure Site Recovery continues to support a variety of infrastructure models for working with data both individually and in groups, as well as the way that its artificial intelligence guarantees that there won't be any errors occurs documents of any type that are considered secret, is something I like very much.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The service cannot be reproduced in services hosted on-premises and can only be transferred to Azure. It looks that site failover is manual and involves some effort. The storage space on each drive is subject to some restrictions as well. With the exception of the easiest disaster recovery instances, you require IT-level knowledge. Additionally, for multi-VM deployments, system center virtual machine manager is necessary.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

With lightning-fast efficiency, Azure Site Recovery builds copies of virtual machines that are utilized in other parts of the business and adds all the data to the active physical server. Since it is so safe, the information cannot be changed by outside parties. It is among the most advanced cloud products now on the marketplace, in our perspective, and it offers a set of back-up, disaster recovery, and reporting capabilities that are simple to use. And all of these at a very reasonable cost.
