Enhancing Business Continuity: Azure Site Recovery Now Supports Shared Disks

Hello everyone,

If you rely on mission-critical applications that use shared disks, there’s exciting news from Azure! Microsoft has announced the public preview of disaster recovery (DR) support for shared disks in Azure Site Recovery, making it easier to protect workloads that require high availability, such as SQL Server Failover Cluster Instances (FCI), SAP ASCS, and Scale-out File Servers.

This new capability allows Azure-to-Azure disaster recovery for Windows virtual machines running Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC) in an active-passive configuration. With this, you can now set up DR strategies that keep your clustered applications resilient even in case of unexpected failures.
