Microsoft Azure

Build applications using any

language, tool, or framework

Integrate public cloud solution with

the existing IT environment

99.95% monthly SLA

Automatic OS & service patching

Azure Backup is Efficient

1. Identify

changed blocks 2. Compress

Efficient change tracking

Transfer only changed content

Compression for low

bandwidth consumption

(9)

Azure Backup is Secure

1. Identify

changed blocks 2. Compress 3. Encrypt

256-bit encryption

In transit and at rest

Admin owns and

manages keys

Azure Backup is Flexible

4. Encrypted data in backup vault 1. Identify

Daily, Weekly, Monthly backup

Choice of 12 sites as targets

Throttle network usage

(11)

Azure Backup is Resilient

1. Identify

Geo-replicated copy

99.9% availability

3 copies per datacenter

+ Geo-replicated copy for DR

4. Encrypted data in backup vault

Local backup

Why have a

secondary site?

• Protection against site level disasters – 2^nd copy of data

• Reduce storage cost

• Compliance to regulations

• Legal requirements

(14)

Long term retention

Time

Data grows exponentially

(50 – 60% Annually)

90% Restores from Short-Term-Retention (30 days or less)

Cloud Backup Opportunity (LTR, Offsite, DR)

1 – 100 years

Local Backup

Capacity

Business needs Compliance/Legal Reduce costs

Cloud

Tape

(15)

Tape vs. Cloud - TCO

“Although tape media

is very inexpensive, a

majority of the cost of

tape-based backup is

the "soft" costs, which

occur around backup

software, maintenance

and staff time”

Deployment guidance

Installation prerequisites

• Virtual network of DPM VM = Virtual network of VMs to be protected

• Domain of DPM VM = Domain of VMs to be protected

• Separate storage account for the DPM VM’s storage

• System Center license mobility to run DPM in an IaaS VM

Scale as needed

DPM VM size Backup scale

Standard tier - A2 Up to 20 workloads (or) 2TB Standard tier - A3 Up to 40 workloads (or) 6TB Standard tier - A4 Up to 60 workloads (or) 12TB
