Azure Ecosystem

Azure Backup, DR and Archive Without Cloud Silos.

Protect Azure workloads, use Azure as a recovery target and keep archive copies governed through one Sendense platform.

Sendense brings Azure VM backup, storage-first disaster recovery, Blob archive retention, EBA efficiency and AsureDense proof into the same operating model used for VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical workloads.

Azure Protection Pillars

Use Azure Without Creating Another Backup Island.

Azure is strongest when it is part of a wider recovery architecture. Sendense keeps cloud backup, hybrid DR, archive retention and validation evidence connected.

01

Cloud Workloads

Azure VM Protection

Protect Azure VMs with the same backup, retention, file recovery and validation model used across VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical estates.

Azure VM backup
File-level recovery
Evidence trail
02

On-Demand Compute

Azure as a DR Target

Replicate on-prem or VMware workloads into Azure storage and start compute when recovery, testing or temporary capacity is needed.

On-prem to Azure
Pre-staged recovery
Failover testing
03

Long-Term Storage

Blob Archive Retention

Use Azure Blob cool or archive tiers as a secondary copy target while Sendense keeps repository policy, immutability and evidence attached.

Lifecycle policy

04

Hybrid Freedom

Cross-Platform Recovery

Recover between Azure, VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical targets so the cloud does not become another one-way protection silo.

Azure Use Cases

Use Azure Three Ways with One Platform.

Azure can be the protected source, the recovery destination, the archive location or part of a bidirectional recovery plan without creating separate operations for each.

01

Back Up Azure VMs

Protect production Azure workloads with recoverability evidence, retention control and unified reporting across the wider estate.

02

Replicate to Azure

Use Azure as a recovery target for VMware, physical or on-prem workloads while keeping compute off until recovery is needed.

03

Archive to Blob

Send efficient secondary copies into Azure Blob storage for long-term retention, legal hold and compliance-driven data protection.

04

Recover Across Platforms

Move recovery in either direction when cost, location, security or operations make a different landing zone the right choice.

Operating Model

Control Cloud Cost Without Splitting Recovery.

Teams can use Azure where it fits without turning cloud backup, DR and archive into separate management planes.

Avoid Idle Compute

Keep recovery data ready in storage and start Azure compute when a test, outage or migration event actually needs it.

Unify Hybrid Protection

Apply one protection model across Azure, VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical workloads instead of running separate backup islands.

Keep Evidence Attached

AsureDense validation and recovery metadata stay close to the recovery point whether it lives in Azure, EBA or another supported target.

Preserve Exit Options

Cloud recovery should not trap recovery history. Sendense keeps restore paths useful when workloads move again.

0

Idle DR Compute

Use storage-first DR until recovery or testing needs compute.

Blob

Archive Target

Use Azure Blob storage for secondary retention copies.

Any

Recovery Direction

Recover into, out of or across Azure as strategy changes.

Proof

Recovery Evidence

Validation gives teams more than job success status.

Azure Proof Points

Cloud Protection Needs More than Native Backup.

Azure becomes more useful when backup, recovery, archive and proof remain connected to the rest of the infrastructure estate.

Azure VM Backup Gets Enterprise Proof

Protect cloud workloads with file recovery, retention control and AsureDense validation instead of relying on basic backup status.

DR Runs at Storage Cost Until Needed

Replicate recovery data into Azure storage and start compute only for testing, migration or a real recovery event.

Blob Archive Becomes Governed Retention

Secondary copies can use Azure Blob tiers while Sendense keeps policy, legal hold and evidence tied to the recovery point.

Cloud Recovery Stays Portable

Recovery paths can move between Azure, VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical estates as the plan changes.

Azure Protection Workflow

How Azure Protection Stays Portable.

The same workflow can protect Azure workloads, recover into Azure, archive to Blob and restore across supported platforms.

01

Connect

Enroll Azure subscriptions, on-prem sources or provider recovery paths into Sendense.

02

Protect

Capture recovery points from Azure VMs, VMware, physical or other supported workloads.

03

Reduce

Use EBA and efficient secondary copies before data lands in Azure Blob storage.

04

Stage

Prepare recovery metadata, network mapping, target sizing and restore direction.

05

Validate

Run integrity, mount and boot evidence so recovery readiness is visible.

06

Recover

Restore into Azure, out of Azure, or across supported platforms when needed.

Azure Economics

Keep Data Ready, Not Every VM Running.

Azure DR does not have to mean hot standby compute for every workload. Sendense lets teams match recovery cost to workload tier while keeping evidence and restore paths intact.

Storage-First DR

Blob storage carries the recovery data until compute is needed for testing or failover.

Hybrid Recovery

Use Azure selectively while preserving recovery paths back to on-prem or open infrastructure.

Archive Governance

Retention, legal hold and validation evidence stay visible around secondary copies.

Portable History

Recovery lineage remains useful when workloads move into, out of or across Azure.

Azure FAQs

Common Azure Questions.

Short answers about Azure VM backup, Azure DR, Blob archive copies and cross-platform recovery.

01

Can Sendense Back Up Azure VMs?

Yes. Sendense can protect Azure workloads alongside VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA and physical systems so teams can manage backup, retention, validation and recovery reporting through one operating model.

02

Can Azure Be Used as a Disaster Recovery Target?

Yes. Sendense can use Azure as a recovery target for on-prem, VMware or other supported workloads, helping teams keep recovery data ready in storage and start compute when failover or testing requires it.

03

How Does Sendense Lower Azure DR Cost?

Sendense supports a storage-first recovery model, so organizations can avoid running all standby compute 24/7. Actual savings depend on RTO targets, storage tiers, network design and test frequency.

04

Can Sendense Use Azure Blob for Archive Copies?

Yes. Azure Blob can be used as a secondary retention target, including cool or archive tiers where appropriate, while Sendense keeps repository policy, governance and recovery evidence attached.

05

Can Workloads Recover out of Azure?

Sendense is designed for cross-platform recovery, so Azure recovery paths do not have to be one-way. Recovery can target Azure, VMware, CloudStack, OSSEA or another supported platform depending on the plan.
