Microsoft recently made available a preview service, Hyper-V Recovery Manager (HVRM). This is a hybrid service that leverages the high ground of the Azure public cloud in a smart way. HRVM manages the replication of your primary data center to your disaster recovery (DR) site. HVRM is a service for Windows Azure customers that appears in the Windows Azure Customer Portal after you sign up for the service. From the portal, you can perform emergency, on-demand, and test failovers of your infrastructure to the DR site. You can achieve excellent DR readiness protecting virtual machine (VM) workloads at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional approaches.
