Deploying Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Manager to replicate and failover virtual machines on Hyper-V host servers that are located in System Center Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) clouds. It’s not Microsoft Hyper-V alone protection anymore, they have managed to protect VMWare and Physical Servers on Primary Sites too.
SCVMM 2012 R2 to Azure
Microsoft Azure Site Recovery Quick Start
On April 30, 2015. You could choose from the Quick Start page the following configurations :

- Between Two On-Premises VMM Sites
- Between an On-Premises Hyper-V Site and Azure
- Between Two On-Premises VMWare Sites
- Between Two On-Premises VMM Sites with SAN Array Replication.
I choose the first one, Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager RU6 and Microsoft Azure.
Before we begin : information about Azure Site Recovery prerequisites and supported scenarios.
