Migration to Azure - Server Migration Part 2

Hello folk  and welcome to part 2 of this thread,

For this Section we gonna focus more on Azure Site Recovery . Azure Site recovery is mainly DR solution provided by Microsoft that is included in service called Recovery Service Vault(RSV). Another solution that covered by RSV is Azure Backup. As normal practice for me , i usually will separated  them in different vault for easier management

Without further a due,  Let start talk about it.

ASR does support source from Hyper V , VMWare and Physical Server. ASR was heavily used as one of migration tool to Azure before Azure Migrate was released.



Again because ASR was meant for DR purposes so what additional thing that can be done is Failback to its original sources except for Physical Server.

One of reason is because of the underlying technology that support ASR is from company called "InMage" . This company was acquired by Microsoft and the first ASR was born.

The details of some guide on deploying ASR for VMWare can be found one of the blogger, the link of the blog as below  https://davidfleming.org/azure-site-recovery-vmware-to-azure


He did all the guide necessary for people to learn and try ASR with VMWare. It gonna be a bit different from Hyper V as the replication is done by Hyper V Host instead ASR Configuration server.

ASR with Hyper V have very little prerequisite which is .net framework and Hyper V 2012 R2 and above.

Do provide me some comment and feedback for future improvement .
