JetStream DR in Action! Live Demonstration of JetStream DR on Microsoft Azure VMware Solution

Get hands-on with JetStream DR on AVS, as JetStream Software Senior Solutions Architect Dennis Bray shows failover of three different VMware clusters from an on-prem Software Defined Data Center (SDDC) in San Jose to a Microsoft AVS data center in Sweden. In just a few minutes, virtual machines (VMs) that have “crashed” in San Jose are up and running in the Microsoft AVS environment. Dennis runs three different failover scenarios to show the range of options for DR using a single DR software platform, including the most cost- effective scenario in which data is stored exclusively in Microsoft Azure Blob Storage and the most high-performance scenario that leverages the performance and scalability of Azure NetApp Files.

In this demo by Dennis Bray of JetStream Software, he showcases the recovery process using JetStream’s solution. The protected site is located in San Jose, within the Equinix Data Center, running a small VMware environment. The virtual machines are replicated to an Azure VMware solution private cloud in the Sweden central region. The demo demonstrates both the near-zero Recovery Time Objective (RTO) option and the on-demand option. Three domains are set up with different configurations, including continuous rehydration and replication to different storage accounts. During the demo, Dennis imports the third domain and initiates the failover process. The progress of the failover and rehydration is shown, and the virtual machines are restored onto an Azure NetApp Files (ANF) data store. The demo also includes configuration settings, network mapping, and the use of JetStream’s automation toolkit for managing the recovery process.
