Lift & Shift

Lift and shift is a migration and data center extension strategy that allows B&R to move existing on-premises, virtualized (VMWare/Hyper-V), or third-party/private cloud-hosted (such as AWS or Rackspace) servers to Microsoft Azure. B&R’s attention to detail ensures servers are fully replicated, bit for bit, block for block to guarantee a seamless experience for your organization.

Data Center Extensions

Virtually extend your existing on-premises data center(s) using robust, secure connectivity options such as site-to-site VPNs or Azure ExpressRoute to solve the following challenges:

• Is your data center operating at physical capacity? Extending your data center to Microsoft Azure allows for limitless expansion without the need to procure new physical hardware or perform costly renovations to your existing server environment.

• Is your organization being held back by dated hardware or reduced on-premises capabilities? Embracing a cloud-extension strategy enables access to the latest and greatest technologies and platforms with greater agility than retrofitting your on-premises data center(s) for new workloads.

Disaster Recovery

Whether you need to backup, protect, or fail over a single server or your entire data center, B&R can architect a disaster recovery & business continuity strategy to ensure your critical systems remain online. By focusing on specific technology and business needs, this custom strategy ensures a cost effective approach to provide your organization with peace of mind.

Resiliency & High Availability

When you implement Microsoft Azure, you're getting more than just a virtual machine, storage, or virtual network — you're getting a sophisticated, highly-available service that has no single point of failure. From internet connectivity, to firewalls, switches, storage and VM hosts, your infrastructure is protected end-to-end against failure.

For those applications and services that have been identified as business critical, Microsoft Azure may be used to enable a highly available architecture, ensuring those solutions are always accessible. B&R’s Team will utilize the full suite of Azure tools and services, such as availability groups and load balancers to improve application uptime, distribute traffic for complex deployments, and perform maintenance with little or no service interruption.
