Azure Site Recovery: Microsoft’s trusted Backup and Disaster Recovery Service

  • As an organization, you must implement a business continuity and disaster recovery plan to keep your data protected and your apps running smoothly even during planned and unplanned outages.

    Azure Site Recovery is Microsoft’s cloud-based disaster recovery service which duplicates your operations to a secondary location in the form of Virtual Machines (VMs) in case your primary location is affected by cyber-attacks, intrusions, and power outages, thus keeping your apps and operations safe and running.

Key Advantages of Azure Site Recovery

1. Protect your organizational data in ERP and other systems from cyber threats and attacks

Recent studies show that ransomware attacks have increased worldwide by 273% in 2020. In a ransomware attack, hackers breach into the system and make the files and data inaccessible to the user. With remote work becoming a norm, you must ensure your organizational data is secure as employees’ personal devices are vulnerable to intrusions.

2. Reduce infrastructure costs and pay for what you use

Since Azure Site Recovery is a Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solution, it is fully cloud-based and you only pay for what you use service on a subscription basis. This saves you from having to setup costly disaster recovery infrastructure, data center, facility rental, or physical hardware.

3. Recover quickly without severe disruption

A disaster recovery plan should help you quickly recover. The longer it takes to recover the more downtime and cost to the business. ASR offers a minimal RPO (Recovery Point Objectives) time of 15 minutes, which helps you avoid severe data loss for a prolonged time. 

4. Continuous monitoring and supervision

Azure Site Recovery continually monitors the health and status of your protected instances and can identify any issues via email notifications to allow constant and automated protection.

5. An SLA of 99.9%

Microsoft backs its Microsoft’s Azure services including the Azure Site Recovery with a 99.9% guarantee, ensuring a permanent uptime of services.
