Primary Azure region/DC
Affordable business continuity
Data is protected with active geo replication to ensure minimal data loss
Compute resources are passively protected and must be restored from a quiescent state (longer recovery time but at a significantly lower cost point)
* ASR Azure to Azure support later this year
ASR Agent
ASR agents snapshot and sync protected VMs to ASR Vault/storage (HA within DC and DR across DCs)

Azure Site Recovery Service (* ASR)

ASR restores protected VMs to active state at remote DC only on request
ERT = Estimated Recovery Time
RPO = Recovery Point Objective
RTO = Recovery Time Objective
SQL DB Premium SLA for Active Geo Replication: ERT < 30s, RPO < 5s
Blob Storage SLA: 99.9% successful read/write using either local replicated or geo replicated storage
Site Recovery SLA: 99.9% availability of service with 4 hour RTO (we see circa 15 minutes in tests)
