Update: The general availability date for SSDR for Finance and Operations (F&O) applications has been pushed back. We will share an updated announcement once the new general availability date is confirmed.
If you wish to create and maintain an asynchronous copy of your production environment(s) in a remote region, with seamless failover and failback, we encourage you to sign up for the ongoing limited preview of Self-Service Disaster Recovery (SSDR) for Finance and operations (F&O) applications.
Once the SSDR feature for F&O has reached general availability, we will begin deprecating the platform created cross-region copies. With the implementation of Availability zones, we maintain at least two, and in some cases, three synchronous copies of production environments within a region at no extra cost to you. These are hosted in physically separated data centers with independent power, cooling, and networking, in compliance with legislated data residency regulations. Since the replication across the zones is synchronous, if there is any failure in a zone or loss of a zone, the customer traffic will seamlessly and automatically move to the other zones, and the customers will not see any outage.
What action do I need to take?
We encourage you to maintain documented business continuity and disaster recovery plans for your implementation. We are informing you of these changes so you can take any necessary actions aligned to your organization’s BCDR policies. If you would like to explore the SSDR feature and create an asynchronous copy of your sandbox environment(s) to a remote region to test, failover, failback and the compliance drill experience, please sign up here to participate in the limited preview.
Why is this action needed?
These changes influence and improve your business continuity and disaster recovery posture with SSDR. We expect these changes to influence your BCDR plans positively. Please contact Microsoft Support if you need further assistance.
