There's not a cloud in the sky...

but there should be one in your business!

Each year, more and more businesses are turning to cloud adoption. Is your business aware of all the cloud benefits? Many businesses that do know how the cloud can transform operations still are not sure where to start. That's where we can help. A cloud assessment determines which workloads are ready to move to Azure, and in what fashion (lift-n-shift, re-platform, or replacement with a new deployment model).

Azure vs Amazon Web Services

Sources: stackify.comazure.microsoft.comaws.amazon.com
Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services go head-to-head, but which one is really the best on top? Whether you are planning a multicloud solution with Azure and AWS, or migrating to Azure, you can compare the IT capabilities of Azure and AWS services in all categories. As the leading public cloud platforms, Azure and AWS each offer businesses a broad and deep set of capabilities with global coverage. Yet many organizations choose to use both platforms together for greater choice and flexibility, as well as to spread their risk and dependencies with a multicloud approach. Consulting companies and software vendors might also build on and use both Azure and AWS, as these platforms represent most of the cloud market demand.

Hybrid Cloud

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]

Amazon

Hybrid clouds are easier with Azure, partly because Microsoft has foreseen the need for hybrid clouds early on.  Azure offers substantial support for hybrid clouds, where you can use your onsite servers to run your applications on the Azure Stack.  You can even set your compute resources to tap cloud-based resources when necessary. This makes moving to the cloud seamless.  Aside from that, several Azure offerings help you maintain and manage hybrid clouds such as Azure Stack, Hybrid SQL Server, and Azure StorSimple. Microsoft’s long history of working on enterprise IT gives them an upper hand when it comes to the hybrid cloud.

[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]

AWS

While Amazon realizes that it needs to strengthen its offerings to support hybrid clouds, it is still catching up, with more investments earmarked for hybrid clouds, according to Brian Olsavsky, Amazon’s chief financial officer. Still, the retail giant currently has a handful of solutions that is geared for companies who wants hybrid cloud deployments such as Storage Gateway, Direct Connect, and DynamoDB Local.

Azure Recovery Services Vault Management – performing a vault swap

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As written on Microsoft Technet

In this blog post I will address some of the questions we’re receiving from customers regarding Azure Backup and Recovery Services vaults. We will focus on one of the most common Azure Backup / Recovery Services Vault management scenarios, which is a ‘vault swap’ for a Data Protection Manager (DPM) server or Azure Backup Server (MABS)*.

* Since DPM and Azure Backup Server have the same functionality in regards to a ‘vault swap’, we’ll simply use the term DPM to reference both products in the rest of this article.

Azure Vault Basics

Let’s start with some baseline information regarding Azure Backup and Recovery Services vaults. First is the relationship of DPM server to vault. Options include:

One to One relationship (DPM1 : Vault1

For this option, a single DPM server may be registered to multiple vaults. At one time or another, for various business reasons, a DPM server may have written to multiple vaults and it’s likely those old Recovery Points need to be retained. As a result, the DPM server preserves its registration to multiple vaults. Note that only one vault at a time can be actively registered to a DPM server for reading or writing data. In other words, a DPM server cannot have one active vault for backups and another active vault for restores. There is a supported method to actively write to one vault and restore from another but it requires a second DPM server:

NOTE: If a DPM server (DPMServer1) has an active registration to one vault for backups (NewVault) but the backup admin needs to restore data from a former vault (OldVault), then use the Add external vault process from DPMServer2. Otherwise, re-registering OldVault as the active registered vault on DPMServer1 could allow DPM to write new backups into OldVault, which likely is not desirable – why else would the backup admin have changed from OldVault to NewVault?

If you do switch back and forth between vaults – perhaps one vault is activated for writing new data while another is temporarily activated for an emergency restore – then it may be difficult to track which vault is active. You can find the active vault name at the following location in the DPM server’s registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindows Azure BackupConfigServiceResourceName.

Azure Vault Swap

There are a couple reasons why customers may be changing their DPM server from one Azure Vault to another:

New Azure Data Center offerings make better business sense for some customers
In February 2017, the Azure Recovery Service was added to several new Azure Data Centers, including the Canada and UK paired Data Centers, as well as US West 2. US West Central was added a couple weeks prior in January 2017.
With these new service locations available, we’re seeing some customers change the location of their Recovery Services vaults (Classic vaults do not apply to these locations). The change could be due to reduced network latency if one of these new data centers is closer to the customer’s on-premises location. Or the change could be due to geo-political requirements, such as a Canada or UK customer that formerly saved backup data out-of-country simply due to there being no in-country offerings.

Various other business reasons
This really could be anything. For whatever reason, let’s say a customer wants to place 2016 data in a vault called ‘2016’ and 2017 data in a vault called ‘2017’. Or maybe they started writing data to a vault that was configured for GRS replication and later decided to change to a vault configured for LRS. I’m sure there are other possibilities here as well.

Pre-requisite Details

For full transparency, let’s first address Azure Billing details because there are scenarios where this could increase your costs for Azure Backup. A ‘vault swap’ can be performed with you keeping the data in the old vault so you have access to all your old Recovery points. Or you may decide you don’t need the historical data and therefore you simply delete the old vault. For those cases where the old vault and data are retained, you would be paying for the vault costs (instances and storage costs) to maintain the Recovery Points active in two vaults since the data would be saved in two separate vault locations (and we’re not talking about GRS here)[AG1] . Saving two copies of your backup data may not be an issue if the data has a short retention: for example 2-4 weeks. Increasing your Azure Backup costs for 2-4 weeks might not be cause for alarm. Along the same lines, a small amount of data would also likely make this cost increase acceptable.

However, customers with longer (such as yearly) retention or a large amount of data may decide that the cost is not worth going through this process. Or they may decide to delete the old data – assuming they have no SOX requirements, of course.

Process to change a DPM Server’s Vault

Changing a DPM server’s registered vault is a fairly easy process, the same as registering a new vault which is documented here. Since the topic of this article is switching vaults, step #3 (installing the Azure Backup Agent) is most likely already done. If you’re switching to an older vault, then step #1 (create the vault) is obviously already completed as well. This would simply leave steps #2 & #4.

    1. Create a Recovery Services vault — Create a vault in Azure portal.
    2. Download vault credentials — Download the credentials which you use to register the DPM server to Recovery Services vault.
    3. Install the Azure Backup Agent — From Azure Backup, install the agent on each DPM server.
    4. Register the server — Register the DPM server to Recovery Services vault.

After changing a DPM server’s active registration to a new vault, the DPM UI won’t update automatically so you’ll need to close and re-open the UI. Next, the DPM’s internal ‘online policy’ doesn’t automatically get refreshed so if no further action is taken, you may see online jobs fail with this error:

Type: Online recovery point
Status: Failed
Description: An internal error prevented the modification of the backup policy. (ID 100010)

This error can be resolved by updating the online policy for each Protection Group. To update the online policy, choose to Modify the Protection Group. Click through the wizard steps to get to the “Specify Online Retention Policy” screen. Increment one of the retention values, then click through the remaining wizard screens, and finally update the Protection Group. Making this change to the online properties will refresh the local policy and resolve the error listed previously. However, to keep your previous retention values, you’ll need to go through the same steps to Modify the Protection Group and change the value back to the original.

For example, in the screenshot below, I would first change the daily retention value from 3 days to 4 days and then continue through the wizard and update the Protection Group. Next, I would go through the wizard a second time and change the daily retention value back to 3 days. These steps can be automated using Powershell if you have multiple Protection Groups to update.

Now that the DPM server’s vault has been changed and the online policy refreshed, your new backups will seamlessly be written to the newly registered vault

Details for the Azure Backup Agent

The Azure Backup agent (MARS), which supports file & folder backups directly to Azure, has its own steps for vault registration but I did find one item of warning while attempting a vault swap. When you perform the vault swap, the online policy seems to contain the list of selected folders. Therefore, after registering to the new vault, my list of selected folders was gone. Re-registering to the old vault brought them back but if you are planning to change to a new vault while using the MARS agent, make a note or take a screenshot of your selected folders so you can re-configure the backups just as they were before the vault changes were made.

Microsoft Azure Stack is ready to order now

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

By Mike Neil as written on azure.microsoft.com
Throughout the Technical Previews, we’ve seen tremendous customer and partner excitement around Microsoft Azure Stack. In fact, we’re speaking with thousands of partners this week at our Microsoft Inspire event. Our partners are excited about the new business opportunities opened up by our ‘One Azure Ecosystem’ approach, which helps them extend their Azure investments to Azure Stack, to unlock new possibilities for hybrid cloud environments. In that vein, today we are announcing:

Azure Stack promise

Azure Stack is an extension of Azure, thereby enabling a truly consistent hybrid cloud platform. Consistency removes hybrid cloud complexity, which helps you maximize your investments across cloud and on-premises environments. Consistency enables you to build and deploy applications using the exact same approach – same APIs, same DevOps tools, same portal – leading to increased developer productivity. Consistency enables you to develop cloud applications faster by building on Azure Marketplace application components. Consistency enables you to confidently invest in people and processes knowing that those are fully transferable. The ability to run consistent Azure services on-premises gets you full flexibility to decide where applications and workloads should reside. An integrated systems-based delivery model ensures that you can focus on what matters to your business (i.e., your applications), while also enabling us to deliver Azure innovation to you faster.
In its initial release, Azure Stack includes a core set of Azure services, DevOps tooling, and Azure Marketplace content, all of which are delivered through an integrated systems approach. Check out this whitepaper for more information about what capabilities are available in Azure Stack at the initial release and what is planned for future versions.

Hybrid use cases unlock application innovation

Azure and Azure Stack unlock new use cases for customer facing and internal line of business applications:

Ecosystem solutions across Azure and Azure Stack

You can speed up your Azure Stack initiatives by leveraging the rich Azure ecosystem:

Orderable integrated systems, free single-server kit for trial

Azure Stack has two deployment options:

Closing thoughts

As an extension of Azure, Azure Stack will deliver continuous innovation with frequent updates following the initial release. These updates will help us deliver enriched hybrid application use cases, as well as grow the infrastructure footprint of Azure Stack. We will also continue to broaden the Azure ecosystem to enable additional choice and flexibility for you.
I look forward to hearing what everyone does with Azure Stack!
