Design a resilient disaster recovery strategy with Microsoft Azure.

OVERVIEW

Data is among the most valuable commodities today; mitigating risk to business data is a constantly evolving science. Disaster recovery (DR) planning is a critical component of safeguarding data. This workshop explores disaster recovery essentials, focusing on recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO) as the foundation for DR planning. You will learn the architecture and deployment fundamentals required to design a robust DR solution, leveraging Microsoft Azure services.

HIGHLIGHTS

• Master RTOs and RPOs: Gain an in-depth understanding of RTOs and RPOs to safeguard business-critical workloads.
• Hands-On Lab Experience: Build practical skills with guided labs, setting up disaster recovery using Azure Site Recovery.
• Design Resilient Systems: Learn best practices for building fault-tolerant cloud architectures.
• Test Your Disaster Recovery Plans: Participate in interactive labs to set up, test, and refine disaster recovery plans in Microsoft Azure.
• Ensure Continuous Improvement: Discover strategies for maintaining, updating, and enhancing your disaster recovery plans for long-term success.

AGENDA

Daymark consultants will introduce fundamental DR concepts, focusing on RTO and RPO.

Daymark consultants will:

• Overview of disaster recovery and business continuity.
• Importance of RTO/RPO for DR strategies.
• Azure DR services (e.g., Azure Site Recovery, Backup).
• Identifying critical workloads.
• Defining RTO/RPO values.
• Analyze a sample Azure environment to determine RTO/RPO.
• Map business priorities to DR strategies.

We’ll guide participants in designing, implementing, and testing an Azure DR plan. This includes:

• Designing a DR architecture, workload placement, and recovery plans.
• Setting up Azure Site Recovery.
• Best practices for disaster recovery based on Microsoft’s Cloud Adoption Framework.
• Testing and improving DR plans.
• Design a sample DR plan.
• Perform a DR test on a sample environment.
