Disaster can strike at any time. A well-designed business continuity plan with Azure ensures your company can restart quickly.
01
Azure Site Recovery: continuous replication
ASR replicates your virtual machines to a secondary Azure region. Replication is continuous with an RPO of a few minutes. In case of disaster, failover is just a few clicks away.
02
Define adapted RTO and RPO
RTO defines how long your business can be interrupted. RPO defines how much data you can lose. These metrics guide architecture. Helion Cloud helps you calibrate.
03
Failover testing
An untested DRP is a DRP that will fail. Azure Site Recovery allows testing without production impact. Plan regular exercises.
04
Beyond VMs
Azure Backup protects data. Azure databases offer native replication options. Microsoft 365 applications are backed up with extended retention options.
Summary
A DRP is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Helion Cloud designs and deploys Azure disaster recovery solutions adapted to your budget.
