Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is a cloud-based disaster recovery service that allows businesses to replicate on-premises physical or virtual machines, and run them in Azure in the event of an outage. With ASR, organizations can ensure business continuity by providing near-instantaneous failover to a secondary site in case of an outage or disaster.
ASR enables businesses to protect their applications and data by replicating them to Azure, with the option to replicate to a secondary on-premises location or a different Azure region. It supports multiple scenarios, including VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, physical servers, and Azure virtual machines.
ASR provides continuous health monitoring of the protected workloads and supports automated failover and failback to the primary site once the issue is resolved. It also offers features such as testing and disaster recovery drills, non-disruptive disaster recovery testing, and customizable recovery plans.
ASR is designed to be easy to set up and manage, with an intuitive user interface and step-by-step configuration guides. It provides detailed reporting and monitoring to ensure that businesses are always aware of the status of their protected workloads.
Overall, Azure Site Recovery is a cost-effective and reliable disaster recovery solution that can help businesses protect their applications and data, and ensure business continuity in the event of an outage or disaster.
