Disaster Recovery ChallengesCosts

Protecting few Workloads

Difficult to protect complex environments and applicationsTesting DR policies can become disruptive to production workloadsComplexity

Extensive recovery times result in loss of revenueProtecting an entire environment with traditional DR solutions is expensive.

Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to costs and complexity

MSIT – Case StudyScenarios: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 standard maintenance 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 Migration to AzureNew migration workflow to Complete MigrationMove applications permanently to Azure and stop Site Recovery billingNo Site Recovery charges if migration is completed within 31 days

VMware UEFI MigrationAzure 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
