Failover and Disaster Recovery Questions to Ask Customers
1. Is it a purely failover scenario or ‘failover and fallback’?
2. How will DNS resolution work for the failover environment?
3. How will user authentication to the web app (separate VPN?) and web to database authentication work in the failover environment (service account, etc)?
Failback to On-premises (Cohesity)
This use case enables those of you protecting applications in the cloud to failback VMs running in the cloud back to on-premises. Below are the steps to accomplish that with Cohesity:
1) Create a protection job by protecting the VMs from the cloud.
2) Replicate the protection job back to the on-premises Cohesity cluster.
3) Trigger a failback from the on-premises cluster.
4) This will seamlessly convert the VM back from its cloud-native format into the on-premises format.
