Deployment

Simple. Really Simple.

Deployment Options | Quickstart Templates | Azure Marketplace

• Request more cores à Support Ticket• More VPGs with fewer VMs in the VPGs.

• Monitor the ZCA Performance– Azure Analytics are great for this

– *Note – High memory consumption alone is not indicative of a problem

– High CPU = 80%+ > 20 minutes

– Network Throughtput

• Scale Out/Up for constrained system resources ($)– Deploy another ZCA

– CPU high? Upgrade the ZCA to a larger instance

Tips

• Public cloud RTOs are longer than on-premises RTOs

– ZVR requires writing journal data to the target disk before the recovery VM

can be powered on. This is called “promotion” and is different than

hypervisor-based target sites, where FO can take place without promoting

the data.

– Set the expectation first. Start with 1 hour RTO and build from there.

– Over 2 hours? Reduce the Configured History to the minimum value that is

acceptable. Lower value = faster RTO

– Alternatively, failover to older checkpoint. Reduces the number of journal

checkpoints necessary.

– Support ‘tweak’
