Moving to Microsoft Azure Platform Today Server, Virtual Machine, Network, Storage, Database Assembly Required Patch, Service Release, New Version Custom, Inconsistent Plan for Peak Load Built to Avoid and Recover from Failure Infrastructure as a Service Automation Hardware maintained for you Operating system support Standardized On-demand scale Built to expect and withstand failure 11/15/2018

HADR / Backup Challenges Backups are costly Backups increase storage cost and require a plan for off-site safe keeping HADR / Backup Challenges Apps require high Service Level Agreement (SLA)’s Critical application depending on databases must have high service level agreements or objectives DR can double costs and effort Disaster Recovery to remote data center doubles your cost 11/15/2018

Current Environment General questions Environmental questions Drivers, goals, existing HADR/Backup strategy, regulations, priorities Environmental questions Storage & Capacity HADR/Backup Processes Network and Microsoft Azure readiness Systems management and security Databases Technology road map Current Environment Environment Assessment Questionnaire High-level Review

Business Requirements Understand backup needs Which databases are good candidates for backup to cloud? Business Requirements Understand HADR needs Which databases are good candidates to failover in Windows Azure? Understand processes What can I do to make sure my organization is prepared for the change?

Engagement Overview Assess Analyze Deploy Foundation Deploy Scenario <Outline the objectives of the engagement that includes the current business and technical challenges as well as the scope. Below is some sample wording.> Perform an assessment of the current SQL Server environment in order to select one HADR strategy and one Backup strategy. Assess Provide guidance for envisioning, planning, and deploying a foundational SQL Server 2014 capability in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines environment. Select a backup scenario and a high availability / disaster recovery scenario to deploy. Analyze Provide guidance on deploying Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Foundation in Microsoft Azure. This includes: Assisting in configuration of Microsoft Azure subscription related to this engagement. Providing guidance on configuration of virtual machines and virtual networking. Note: Setup and configuration of Microsoft Azure subscription and VPN are customer tasks. Deploy Foundation Provide guidance to deploying SQL Server 2014 HADR and backup scenarios utilizing Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines environment. Deploy Scenario
