Extensive recovery times result in loss of revenue

Protecting an entire environment with traditional DR solutions is expensive.

Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to

• Scenarios• Migrate On Premises infrastructure to Azure (ARM)

• Reporting available to monitor migration and report status.

• Disaster Recovery of On Premises infrastructure to Azure.

• Migrate between Azure Data centers.

• Results• In the first 90 days, Microsoft IT has been able to migrate 1500+ VMs to Azure.

• Plans are to expand the usage to migrate/DR multiple thousands of additional VMs.

• Quotes• “The ASR tools are great. I was able to migrate our VMs with minimal downtime to the business.”

• - Director, Finance IT

• “It’s like magic pixie dust. You configure ASR, let it run in the background, and are able to do the failover during a standardmaintenance window of your choosing. This is exactly the tool we needed to provide our internal customers flexibility while performing migrations to Azure.”

• - Service Manager ,Microsoft IT for Azure

NEW FEATURES

Move applications permanently to Azure and stop Site Recovery billing

No Site Recovery charges if migration is completed within 31 days

• Azure does not support virtual machines running a UEFI / Generation 2 firmware. Site Recovery cannot directly migrate a virtual machine from VMware to Azure IaaS, when that virtual machine is using UEFI firmware

• Option 1: Convert the VMware VM from UEFI to BIOS firmware and use Site Recovery to migrate a BIOS virtual machine from VMware to Azure IaaS

• Option 2: Migrate the VMware VM from UEFI to a Generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machine and use Site Recovery to migrate the virtual machine from the Hyper-V host to Azure IaaS

• Option 3: Use an external vendor tool or manual process that can convert and migrate the virtual machines between formats in VMware and Azure IaaS
