Azure Migration Overview

According to Gartner’s market-defining Magic Quadrant report, Azure is your best option for cloud and application platform needs. The only vendor awarded 'Leader' status across Gartner’s Magic Quadrants for Cloud Infrastructure as a Service, Application Platform as a Service, and Cloud Storage Services for two consecutive years, Azure is the market-leading platform.

Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework

The Benefits of Azure Migration

Work on your business and leave your cloud worries behind.

Business Improvement

Set yourself apart from the competition by accessing enterprise-grade software, automating processes and improving customer and user experience.

Increased Security

A cloud host's full-time job is to monitor security carefully. More than 90% of businesses who have migrated to the cloud say it both improved their security and made it easier to meet government compliance requirements.

Disaster Recovery

Cloud-based services provide quick data recovery for all kinds of emergency scenarios, from natural disasters to power outages.

Flexibility

There is a finite amount of IT resources to divide across all of your IT functions. The cloud offers businesses more flexibility. If you need extra bandwidth, a cloud-based service can meet that demand instantly.

Limitless Scale

Invest in security, not infrastructure setup and maintenance. Start using Sentinel immediately and only pay for the resources you need.

Backup & DR in the Time of Hybrid Clouds (The Microsoft Way): Part 2 Site Recovery

Part One: Azure Backup ServerPart Two: Azure Site RecoveryAt last, the long-awaited (and long overdue) second part of the series is in front of you. Today, I’ll cover Azure Site Recovery (ASR), Microsoft’s Disaster Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) offering, basics and how it can help you protect your data by creating a replica of your production workloads, whether they are virtual or physical, running on Hyper-V or VMware, or even running in Azure (in case you need to have a Disaster Recovery site in a different Azure region or even in a different subscription). ASR is also an excellent migration tool for your workloads, regardless of the source, as long as your destination is Microsoft Azure. In this article, I’ll focus on ASR as a DR for your on-premises VMware workloads. Let’s begin.
