This document discusses how IT environments have evolved from physical servers to virtualization and cloud computing. It notes that disruptions, both planned and unplanned, are an inevitable part of IT operations. The document advocates for an approach called IT resilience, which enables organizations to adapt to changes and disruptions while protecting the business. It presents disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) on Microsoft Azure using Zerto virtual replication software as an affordable and flexible alternative to on-premises disaster recovery sites. The document outlines a 5-step process for preparing, connecting, enabling disaster recovery to Azure, configuring replication of virtual machines (VMs), and testing recovery of VMs from Azure.

Step 1 - Preparing Your Environment
16
Scale-out, hypervisor-based
Virtual Replication Appliance
Compression, throttling, resilience
VMware
vSphere
Microsoft
Hyper-V
VM block-level changes only
Near-sync Replication, RPO = Seconds
Tracking & streaming, no snapshots, no impact
No downtime, install in minutes
Zerto Virtual Manager
vCenter 4.x-6.5 or SCVMM 2012 R2
Max 1TB VM disks, page disk limit
Win2008 R2+, RHEL, Ubuntu, CentOS
For UEFI or Gen2 VMs use ASR

17. Step 2 - Configure Connectivity
17
VM Network
Supported
- Min 5 Mbps link
- Site-to-Site VPN
- ExpressRoute
Unsupported
- Point-to-Site VPN
- Direct over web

18. Step 3 - Enable DR To Azure
18
D3 V2 Windows VM, any region
ZCA = ZVM & VRA Combined
Connect to on premises ZVM
VM disks as page blobs
Replica Data in New Storage Account
7-10% for point in time recovery, block blobs
From Azure Market Place
Deploy Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA)
Search for “Zerto Virtual Replication”
Scale-out, 200 VMs per ZCA
No Recovery VMs Until Needed
Locally redundant standard VMs
