Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) on Azure

Prevent potential business shutdowns caused by data loss, ransomware attacks, infrastructure failure, or service outages by building a reliable Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery solution on Microsoft Azure.

This professional service helps organizations design and implement a secure and cost-effective BCDR strategy using Azure Site Recovery, Azure Backup, Recovery Services Vault, Azure Monitor, and Azure security best practices.

The solution supports workloads running on-premises, in Azure, or in hybrid environments. It enables customers to replicate critical workloads, protect business data, perform recovery testing, monitor backup and replication health, and restore services in a controlled and timely manner.

Diyar United Microsoft-certified consultants will assess the current environment, identify risks and gaps, define recovery objectives, configure Azure-native BCDR services, perform failover testing, and provide documentation and operational runbooks.

• Included in This Offer

• Risk assessment and BCDR readiness review • RTO and RPO requirement alignment • Azure target recovery environment setup • Source environment preparation • Azure Site Recovery configuration • Azure Backup policy configuration • Workload replication and backup validation • Test failover execution • Monitoring and alerting configuration • DR handover documentation

• Customer Scenario:

A customer is running business-critical applications in an on-premises data center and wants to use Azure as the disaster recovery site instead of maintaining a second physical data center. Through this engagement, critical workloads are assessed, protected using Azure Site Recovery, backed up using Azure Backup, and validated through test failover in an isolated Azure network. This helps the customer improve resilience and recover faster during outages, data loss, or infrastructure failure.

• Expected Outcomes:

By the end of this engagement, the customer will have a clear and tested Azure-based BCDR foundation.

The expected outcomes include:

• A documented Azure BCDR architecture aligned with business and technical requirements • Critical workloads protected using Azure Backup and/or Azure Site Recovery • Defined RTO and RPO approach mapped to business priorities • Validated test failover process in a controlled Azure environment • Monitoring and alerting configuration for backup and replication health • Operational runbook for disaster recovery procedures • Handover documentation for customer IT and operations teams

• Customer Prerequisites:

• Active Azure subscription with required permissions • Access to the source environment • Workload inventory and application dependency details • Network, firewall, DNS, and routing information • RTO, RPO, and backup retention requirements • Stakeholder availability for testing and validation

• Out of Scope: • Azure consumption charges • Third-party licensing • Application code changes • Full production migration • 24/7 managed service unless agreed separately • Production failover execution unless agreed separately
