Enterprise Grade Disaster Recovery
with Azure Site Recovery, EMC VMAX, VMAX3 and SRDF: Now available

Earlier this year, we announced the availability of SAN replication support in Azure Site Recovery (ASR).

With ASR, SCVMM and Hyper-V customers can extend their investments in SAN and SAN replication offerings from our storage partners to enable end to end DR for their Hyper-V VMs across two on-premises datacenters. With features such as synchronous and asynchronous replication support, protection and recovery of shared-disk guest clusters, multi-VM consistency and standards based managed with SMI-S, ASR provides enterprise-grade DR solutions for Hyper-V environments.

Today, I am happy to share that ASR integration with EMC VMAX and VMAX3 series and Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF) is now available. SCVMM/Hyper-V environments that use EMC VMAX and VMAX3 SAN arrays can leverage industry leading technology in SRDF with ASR to protect complex multi-vm applications in a group consistent manner while ensuring that the most stringent RPO and RTO SLA requirements are met. The combination of Azure Site Recovery with EMC VMAX SRDF provides a robust, scalable yet simple end to end DR solution for Hyper-V environments.
