Business Continuity Challenges
Need to reduce the costs related to Downtime of applications.Costs
Protecting Many Workloads
Monitoring
Manual recovery of the many virtual machines that compose services can be complex and time-consuming - procedures need to be documented and tested
Recovery
Need to reduce the costs related to downtime
Disaster recovery solutions with synchronous replication are expensive
Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to costs and complexity
Constant monitoring of services can be challenging
Benefits• Affordable in-box business continuity and disaster recovery
• Failure recovery in minutes
• More secure replication across network
• No need for storage arrays
• No need for other software replication technologies
• Automatic handling of live migration
• Simpler configuration and management

Introducing Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager
Protects important services by coordinating the replication of virtual machines at a secondary location
Monitors the health of System Center Virtual Machine Manager clouds
Orchestrates the recovery of virtual machines at your secondary location to quickly restore service in the event of a site outage
Automates protection by leveraging in-box technologies and cloud-based recovery plans
Windows Azure Hyper-V Recovery Manager
� Protect the applications in your private cloud at a secondary location
Monitors application availability continuously and remotely
Only the Virtual Machine Manager servers communicate with Windows Azure
Orchestrates the orderly recovery of virtual machines that compose multi-tier services
Customizable recovery plans
Simplifies the process of testing recovery plans
Ongoing replication of virtual machines
Integrated with established Hyper-V Replica and System Center Virtual Machine Manager technologies
Workload data remains in your network – not moved to, or through, Windows Azure
