welcome to our your essentials in the
next few minutes I'll walk you through
how you can use a host global cloud
platform to keep your business critical
services up and running and to protect
and restore your data from a specific
point in time as part of a business
continuity disaster recovery plan for
your organization in an show there are
two core services that you'll want to
take advantage of the first is actual
site recovery or ASR and the second is
Asha backup both ASR and Asha back up
complement each other to provide you
with an end-to-end business continuity
and disaster recovery solution with a
limited scale in the case of an outage
this allows you to recover your business
services in a timely and orchestrated
manner and safeguards the recovery of
your data in the event of accidental
deletion corruption and even ransomware
with ASR you can replicate Asha VMS
between Asha regions or you can
replicate on-premises VMs and physical
servers to Russia in this case as your
site recovery will coordinate virtual
machine and physical server failover
from your primary site to Azure and can
fail back to the primary location once
it's running again additionally actual
site recovery integrates with other
business continuity and disaster
recovery services for example it can
protect your important sequel server
workloads by managing the failover of
sequel server always-on availability
groups ASR offers best-in-class recovery
time objectives RTO and recovery point
objectives RPO so if your service goes
down it can be back up in minutes
application consistent snapshots which
captured disk data and transactions in
process and map to your specified
recovery points to keep your apps
consistent during failover you can also
customize the orchestration sequence for
the failover and recovery of multi-tier
applications running on multiple VMs
recovery steps can be automated by
taking advantage of our automation
library of application specific scripts
additionally you can use your own
scripts or up to manually initiate
recovery in the azure portal you can
also customize the orchestration
sequence for your failover and recovery
of multi-tier applications running on
multiple VMs
ASR uses the network management
capabilities in Asia such as reserving
IP addresses and controlling load
balancers and can be used with Azure
Traffic Manager for efficient Network
switchovers moving on to our backup as
part of your business continuity and
disaster recovery plan
you can ensure that your important data
is backed up whether it lives on
premises or in the cloud and you can
configure the service to your specific
recovery point objectives based on your
goals as your backup takes multiple
snapshots of your data to give you the
flexibility to restore your business
back to a specific period in time for
example you can ensure that your
database is backed up every 15 minutes
all your VMs are backed up daily if
you've got VMs running in Azure
you can configure backup and retention
schedules to recover your VMs as well as
their content such as files and folders
the backups are application consistent
nature you don't need any additional
infrastructure for this to work if on
the other hand you're looking at backing
up your on-premises resources as your
backup gives you a wide variety of
backup options you can for example just
choose to a general backup of your
hyper-v and VMware virtual machines from
your data center and even capture system
stay on your physical machines to do a
bare metal recovery if needed equally
you can choose to backup your files and
folders or the data in specific
workloads such as exchange email data
data stored in sequel or in SharePoint
to understand more about your backup
options it's a good idea to refer to the
azure backup server protection matrix
which also details known constraints
once your data is copied to Azure
it will synchronize only Delta changes
saving you time and internet connection
charges and you can even ship your data
offline to the azure data center hosting
your backup if that's preferable the
data's encrypted in transit and at rest
and you as the customer hold the
encryption keys with your data backed up
in Asia you can also take advantage of
additional built-in protections for
example we know that most ransomware
attacks typically attempt to gain
control of your backup process by
deleting the previous data backups to
help mitigate this threat when you set
up as your backup you can configure your
recovery services vault for multi-factor
authentication this ensures that a
security pins generated to perform
critical operations such as updating or
removing a recovery point so now let's
talk a little bit about setup I just
showed you the recovery services vault
this is an important point both services
required to set up a recovery services
fault hold your settings
monitoring and reports policies
protected items and site recovery plan
as well as backup items backup jobs and
backup usage logs next you follow a step
by step wizard experience that walks you
through the information need
to ensure that your environment is
replicated and your data protected for
ASR this includes setting the target
where your applications will land in
Asia the virtual machines you want to
replicate as well as preparing your
recovery plan and flash your backup if
you're backing up from Asha you just
need to select the VM resources that you
want to backup and a few steps you're
done the steps include selecting your
backup goal the frequencies of your
backup and how long you want to retain
the backups to meet compliance purposes
if on the other hand you're backing up
your data center resources you need to
choose the on-premises data sources that
you want to backup to Azure and prep
your on-premises infrastructure storage
for your protected data comes in two
flavors LRS is a low cost option for
protecting your data from local hardware
failures in Asia
GRS on the other hand provides a higher
level of durability for your data even
if there's a regional outage you only
pay for the storage that you consume for
the specific prerequisites and to learn
more about this setup experience visit
the link shown of course before you set
up these services get in the most
effective use of aja to handle the
backup of your services and data takes
some planning for as your backup data is
kept by default for 30 days and so
you'll want to extend this period to
support your specific data retention
goals which could be many years to meet
your regulatory requirements for ASR on
the other hand you'll need to determine
which films to replicate by assessing
the impacts your business if the
specific apps and workloads that you run
experience downtime to support
deployment planning the site recovery
deployment planner is a command-line
tool that allows you to remotely profile
your VMs to understand the bandwidth and
storage requirements for successful
replication and failover based on your
recovery point objectives you can run
the tool without installing any site
recovery components on-premises and it
also gives you an estimated disaster
recovery cost for failover to Azure as
you shift to manage failover and data
backup with Azure you also benefit from
built-in monitoring tools in Azure site
recovery out the box monitoring helps
you to continually oversee your business
continuity objectives you can also
choose to receive email notifications
for critical events so that you're able
to proactively address any issues that
might impact your ability to react to a
disaster furthermore in Azure back up
the vault dashboard gives you visibility
into the list of backup jobs alerts for
fail backup jobs restore jobs and delete
operations similarly you can setup in
all notifications for alerts or push
monitoring data to a log analytics
workspace or power bi for a holistic
view across all of your answers
subscriptions so that was an overview of
how you can use ash's global cloud
platform to keep your business critical
services up and running and to protect
and restore your data from a specific
point in time
as part of a business continuity and
disaster recovery plan for your
organization as you site recovery and as
your backup of built into Asha so if you
have an azure subscription you can get
started today an ASR is free to use for
the first 31 days and of course to learn
more about assuring to get access to
