The time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes

First of all, we initially faced a challenge as Azure Site Recovery was not supporting shared disk options on SQL clusters with VMs, which are important for a Windows cluster mode. Additionally, the setup is quite easy, only requiring the creation of a vault. Its time-saving aspects allow us to write PowerShell scripts to automate failover processes.

A reliable and scalable solution that can be used to ensure workloads are replicated when needed

A couple of years back, our data center was located in Fort Lauderdale, known as Hurricane Alley. We would swing our workloads or production data center into our Dallas data center from July the first until the whole hurricane season. Once hurricane season was done, we would swing everything back to South Florida on November the first. Currently, we have a state-of-the-art data center in Ashburn, Virginia. Since it is a location with no hurricanes, we've got less movement from a failing-over perspective. From a compliance perspective, we need to show our compliance partners that we can cut over a data center should we need to and run out of a different data center somewhere else. This is necessary for compliance, insurance, and HIPAA compliance.
