NEW WHITEPAPER: Azure Stack – Considerations for business continuity and disaster recovery

This post has been republished via RSS; it originally appeared at: Azure Global articles.

Azure Stack is a unique offering unlike other virtualization platforms, and its business continuity and disaster recovery strategy is unique as well. Hector Linares and Joel Yoker of AzureCAT provide a look at what recovery means for Azure Stack. It’s similar to the virtualization platforms you  may use, but it’s better to think of Azure Stack as a cloud environment like Azure.
