Symantec Disaster Recovery Orchestrator enables fully automated disaster recovery of Microsoft Windows applications residing on premises to the Microsoft Azure cloud. It replicates application data and recovers applications to Azure with a single click. Using consolidated replication targets in Azure reduces disaster recovery costs by up to 95% while achieving strong Recovery Time and Recovery Point Objectives. The centralized management console automates all disaster recovery operations including testing and reporting.

One Click Disaster Recovery to the Cloud
Data Sheet: Enable the Agile Data Center
Symantec™ Disaster Recovery Orchestrator enables
businesses to automate and manage the takeover and failback
of Microsoft Windows-based applications residing on
premises in either physical or virtual machines (VMs) to the
Microsoft Azure cloud. Disaster Recovery Orchestrator
replicates application data and fully automates end-to-end
application recovery. Using Disaster Recovery Orchestrator to
target the cloud for disaster recovery can significantly reduce
costs while achieving stringent Recovery Time Objectives
(RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).

FFully automatedully automated
With a single click, Disaster Recovery Orchestrator will
automatically recover your business applications to the
Microsoft Azure cloud. Using both its recovery control,
automation, and replication capabilities, Disaster Recovery
Orchestrator can perform a takeover within minutes. When a
disaster recovery (DR) event occurs, Disaster Recovery
Orchestrator will automatically handle:
• Replication reversal or takeover
• Instantiation of the application recovery VMs
• Accessibility of replicated data
• Start up of the application and its dependencies in the
correct order
CoCosst-efft-effectiveective
Most DR solutions have a 1:1 pairing between the source and
disaster recovery system or application targets. Disaster
Recovery Orchestrator uses a consolidated replication target
within your Azure subscription to eliminate the need for
always on application VMs. Application VMs are instantiated
in Azure only during the disaster recovery event. This
approach significantly reduces the compute costs incurred
within Microsoft Azure.
Fire drill capabilitFire drill capabilityy
Once an application is DR protected, users can easily test
whether the configuration works by performing a fire drill. A
fire drill tests the recovery of an application without
disrupting the production environment, by bringing up a copy
of the application and its replicated data in a fire drill
network. Disaster recovery testing gives confidence in the
consistency and recoverability of both the application and the
associated data.
Continuous replicationContinuous replication
Disaster Recovery Orchestrator performs real time replication
to ensure Recovery Point Objectives [RPOs] are measured in
minutes not days. Application data is replicated with no
performance impact to the application. The replication
engine's write order fidelity capability helps to ensure
replicated data consistency independent of the application.

2. CentralizCentralized management consoleed management console
The Disaster Recovery Orchestrator console is always
available in the Microsoft Azure cloud, and provides an end-
to-end configuration wizard experience that has the same look
and feel of the Microsoft Azure Management Portal. The
console manages all DR operations – including takeover,
failback, fire drill and reporting.
