Use this article as a starting point to design a well-architected solution that aligns with your workload's specific requirements.
Small and medium businesses can inexpensively implement disaster recovery to the cloud by using a partner solution like Double-Take DR.
This solution is built on the Azure managed services: Traffic Manager, VPN Gateway, and Virtual Network. These services run in a high-availability environment, patched and supported, allowing you to focus on your solution instead of the environment they run in.
Potential use cases
Organizations that utilize double-take include SMEs to Fortune 500 companies.

Components
- DNS traffic is routed via Traffic Manager, which can easily move traffic from one site to another based on policies defined by your organization.
- VPN Gateway: The VPN gateway maintains the communication between the on-premises network and the cloud network securely and privately.
- Virtual Network: The virtual network is where the failover site will be created when a disaster occurs.
