Solution architecture: SMB disaster recovery with Azure Site Recovery

Small and medium-sized enterprises can inexpensively implement disaster recovery to the cloud by using Azure Site Recovery or a partner solution such as Double-Take DR.

This solution is built on the Azure-managed services: Traffic Manager, Site Recovery and Virtual Network. These services run in a high-availability environment that is patched and supported, allowing you to focus on your solution instead of the environment they run in.
