Private Preview – DR for Shared Disks – Azure Site Recovery

We are excited to announce the Private Preview of _DR for Azure Shared Disks_ for workloads running Windows Server Failover Clusters (WSFC) on Azure VMs. Now you can protect, monitor, and recover your WSFC-clusters as a single unit across its DR Lifecycle, while also generating cluster-consistent recovery points – which are consistent across all the disks (including the Shared Disk) of the cluster. Sign up [here](https://aka.ms/asrshareddiskspreview)! **Salient Features:** * Private Preview will support protection of Windows Server Failover Clusters. Some applications that use this architecture are SQL FCI, SAP ASCS, Scale-out File Servers, etc. * **OS Support:** Windows Server 2016 and above. * **Nodes:** Up to 4 nodes per cluster. * **Shared Disks**: Any number of Shared Disks can be attached to the cluster. * Failover operation supports the failover of the entire cluster at once. We also support failover of clusters where one or more nodes are unavailable or undergoing maintenance. * The scope is limited to forward direction protection. Once a failover is performed, the customer will have to re-enable replication for reverse direction protection. * Any node ownership changes within the cluster (also called cluster failovers) will require a disk re-sync. This limitation will be resolved in Public Preview. With this release, you can: * Protect your cluster together with ASR Shared Disk Support. * Generate recovery points (App and Crash) that are consistent across all the VMs and disks of the cluster. * Monitor Protection and Health of the cluster and all its nodes from a single page. * Failover the cluster with a single click.  * Features * Services
