Data and infrastructure back up to Azure cloud service, Part 2

Azure Site RecoveryIn the first part, we looked at the capabilities of the Azure Backup service, which allows to back up corporate data. Now let’s look at how to ensure the resumption of work processes after a failure.

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) – is a service that guarantees the restoration of all company`s services after an emergency (for example, an accident, disaster, or equipment failure). The service allows you to store data copies in the cloud, as well as restore applications and services immediately after a failure incident.

Azure Site Recovery supports backup and recovery data without the dependency on technology that is based – it may be Hyper-V, VMware, or physical servers. The service provides the ability to set up data backup on local servers and their automatic recovery in the Azure cloud environment in a failure case.

Additionally, ASR allows you to use the data migration feature, which allows you to move workloads from local servers to Azure instances with minimal time thresholds.

Key benefits of Azure Site Recovery:

1. Reducing the cost of data storage and backup through the use of cloud technologies.
2. Ensuring data storage security and reliability.
3. Fast recovery of workloads after a failure or disaster.
4. Ability to migrate workloads to the Azure cloud environment.

The main advantages of Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery over conventional backup tools are as follows:

1. Reliability and security: provide high reliability and data security by storing backups in the Azure cloud and using data encryption.
2. Process Automation: automate the process of data backup and restoration, which reduces possible errors and speeds up the process.
3. Flexibility and scalability: cloud services allow you to scale backup and data recovery depending on the needs of the company.
4. Cost-Effective: services reduce hardware and software costs for data backup and recovery because they offer reasonable Pay-As-You-GO plans.

As such, Azure Backup and Azure Site Recovery offer many advantages over traditional backups, providing high reliability, security, process automation, flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.
