Designing Networking and Hybrid Connectivity Infrastructure
Description
Disaster Recovery and OffSite replicas of critical workloads used to be a very costly and complex thing to orchestrate. With System Center and Microsoft Azure, you can leverage Azure Site Recovery to coordinate a site failover from one datacenter to another. We recently announced that Microsoft datacenters could be a possible failover target, provided you are aware of the dependencies. Lean how to set up Azure Site Recovery to use your Azure environment as your replica destination to coordinate a failover before disaster strikes. If you're not ready for a full solution, but looking to migrate specific machines from On-Premises to Azure, we have you covered in this session as well. See how InMage can migrate your workloads from VMware, AWS and Hyper-V to your Azure IaaS environment.

Ballinor I can't ask questions in the live sessions :( but thought I ask here
with SAN replication (which is in preview), are you focusing on a SAN technology standard or partnering up with SAN vendors to add Azure as a replication destination?

mattmcspirit Hi - SCVMM integrates with storage arrays through SMI-S - Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMI-S), and you can find more details of that here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg610600.aspx - With your SAN under management, VMM can perform tasks such as LUN provisioning, zoning, deletion of LUNs, cloning, snapshotting etc, but it is up to the Storage Vendor to expose their capabilities, and we work closely with a large number of them to integrate the solution. As you can see here, https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/16100.supported-storage-arrays-for-system-center-2012-vmm.aspx, there are a number of storage arrays that are integrated with VMM, however, for SAN Replication specifically, as we're still in preview, that list is smaller, here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/28317.deploying-azure-site-recovery-with-vmm-and-san-supported-storage-arrays.aspx but it will grow as we move forward.
We can't talk about future plans for replication into Azure for the SAN rep scenario I'm afraid - today, SAN rep is between 2 on-premises locations, and replication from on-premises into Azure is powered by the Hyper-V Replica engine, and in 2015, for VMware environments, the InMage Scout engine will allow VMware to Azure replication and recovery.
Hope that helps!
