5. Costs
Protecting few
Workloads
Difficult to protect complex environments and applications
Testing DR policies can become disruptive to production workloadsComplexity
Extensive recovery times result in loss of revenue
Protecting an entire environment with traditional DR solutions is expensive.
Some workloads that could benefit from protection go unprotected due to
costs and complexity

27. • Scenarios
• Migrate On Premises infrastructure to Azure (ARM)
• Reporting available to monitor migration and report status.
• Disaster Recovery of On Premises infrastructure to Azure.
• Migrate between Azure Data centers.
• Results
• In the first 90 days, Microsoft IT has been able to migrate 1500+ VMs to Azure.
• Plans are to expand the usage to migrate/DR multiple thousands of additional VMs.
• Quotes
• “The ASR tools are great. I was able to migrate our VMs with minimal downtime to the business.”
• - Director, Finance IT
• “It’s like magic pixie dust. You configure ASR, let it run in the background, and are able to do the failover during a standard
maintenance window of your choosing. This is exactly the tool we needed to provide our internal customers flexibility while
performing migrations to Azure.”
• - Service Manager ,Microsoft IT for Azure

28. NEW FEATURES

30. • Azure does not support virtual machines running a UEFI / Generation 2 firmware. Site Recovery
cannot directly migrate a virtual machine from VMware to Azure IaaS, when that virtual
machine is using UEFI firmware
• Option 1: Convert the VMware VM from UEFI to BIOS firmware and use Site Recovery to
migrate a BIOS virtual machine from VMware to Azure IaaS
• Option 2: Migrate the VMware VM from UEFI to a Generation 2 Hyper-V virtual machine and
use Site Recovery to migrate the virtual machine from the Hyper-V host to Azure IaaS
• Option 3: Use an external vendor tool or manual process that can convert and migrate the
virtual machines between formats in VMware and Azure IaaS
