What is Azure Site Recovery?

Azure Site Recovery is a software solution designed to facilitate business continuity by enabling automated replication, backup, and recovery of virtual machines, physical servers, and cloud workloads across different geographical locations. It streamlines disaster recovery processes by orchestrating failover and failback between primary and secondary sites, minimizing downtime and data loss during outages. The software supports integration with various platforms, including VMware and Hyper-V, and offers customizable recovery plans to meet organizational requirements. By providing centralized management for monitoring and testing recovery strategies, Azure Site Recovery addresses the business problem of maintaining operational resilience against disruptions, ensuring systems and data remain available and recoverable.

Azure Site Recovery Pricing

Azure Site Recovery software uses a usage-based pricing model, where charges are applied per protected instance on a monthly basis. Costs may vary depending on the amount of storage, data transfer, and other resources used during disaster recovery and replication processes. Additional fees may apply for network bandwidth and recovery infrastructure. Free trial options and tiered pricing may be available for specific use cases.

    we use Azure site recovery as part of our wider disaster recovery strategy for clients and it’s been a dependable solution. Overall it gives us reassurance that critical systems can be recovered quickly if needed and it’s integrated nicely into our existing environments, once in place it runs reliably in the background without needing much day-to-day attention.

User Sentiment About Azure Site Recovery

Azure Site Recovery Likes & Dislikes

Like

The automation around failover and recovery is the biggest advantage. It reduces risk and removes a lot of the pressure during incidents. The visibility into replication status and system health is also helpful for ongoing monitoring.

Dislike

The changes the vendor deployed were a bit complex in nature and the vendor was able to provide line by line configuration items. However, there are many other ways to finish the configuration. It would have been better if more technical resources were provided to minimize the disruption within the internal IT team.
