The Benefits Of Data Backup And Disaster Recovery In Azure

Having a data resiliency strategy is essential for maintaining business continuity.  A good data resiliency strategy includes two factors:  backup and disaster recovery solutions.  Backups provide recovery points for data or systems that are lost in some capacity.  Disaster recovery provides a process by which portion of an environment, or an entire environment that is unavailable can be brought online in another datacenter with minimal data loss and downtime.

Open Source And Azure – A Match Made In Heaven

Microsoft is not always associated with the open source movement but to think they no longer play nice is a mistake. Microsoft is a big backer of Open Source Software (OSS) and is putting significant resources behind it. Microsoft’s Azure platform works seamlessly with open source especially when it comes to cloud development interfaces and tools. In 2016, Mark Russinovich, CTO of Microsoft Azure, gave the keynote address at DockerCon; telling attendees that 33% of Azure virtual machines were running Linux. That’s up from 25% in 2015, when Microsoft joined the Cloud Foundry – a popular PaaS architecture that’s becoming the DevOps platform of choice for enterprises. Other Cloud Foundry members include the original founder Pivotal, Cisco, Google, IBM, SAP and Suse.
