Complete Azure Protection
Backup Azure workloads. Replicate to Azure. Archive in Azure.
Whether you're running workloads in Azure, replicating on-prem to Azure for DR, or using Azure as cost-effective archive storage — Sendense gives you one unified platform for all of it.
Three Ways to Use Azure with Sendense
Complete Azure integration for backup, DR, and archive.
Backup Azure Workloads
Protect your Azure VMs with enterprise-grade backup. Same interface you use for on-prem, with AsureDense validation proving every recovery point works.
- Azure VM snapshot integration
- Cross-region replication
- Application-consistent backups
- File-level recovery
Replicate TO Azure
Use Azure as your DR target for on-prem or VMware workloads. Data sits in Blob storage at storage costs — compute only when you need to failover.
- VMware → Azure DR
- On-prem → Azure replication
- Sub-15-minute failover
- Automatic driver injection
Archive to Azure
Long-term retention at pennies per GB. Use Azure Blob cool/archive tiers for compliance retention without breaking the budget.
- Cool/archive tier support
- Immutability for compliance
- Lifecycle management
- Legal hold support
Enterprise Backup for Azure Workloads
Don't settle for basic Azure Backup limitations. Sendense gives you the same enterprise features for Azure VMs that you expect for on-prem — with one unified interface for your entire estate.
- Unified Management
Azure, VMware, CloudStack, Physical — all in one console
- Cross-Region Protection
Replicate Azure VMs to another region or back to on-prem
- AsureDense Validation
Boot screenshots and checksums prove every backup works
- Granular Recovery
Full VM, disk-level, or file-level restore options
Azure + on-prem. One view. One policy engine.
How Azure DR Works
Replicate on-prem to Azure at storage costs. Failover in minutes when you need it.
Replicate to Blob
Sendense captures incremental changes from VMware or on-prem sources and uploads them to Azure Blob Storage. Deduplication and compression minimize transfer and storage costs.
Pre-Stage VMs
VM configurations are pre-staged in Azure: size, network mappings, resource groups. When you need to failover, the VM is ready to boot — not waiting for provisioning.
Failover & Run
One-click failover converts blob data to Azure Managed Disks, attaches them to your pre-staged VM, and boots. Sub-15-minute RTO. Run in Azure until primary site is restored.
Beyond Native Azure Backup
Azure Backup is fine for simple use cases. Sendense is for enterprises.
Azure Backup Limitations
- Azure-only — no unified view with on-prem
- No proof of recoverability
- Limited cross-platform restore
- No VMware/on-prem integration
- Basic retention policies
Sendense for Azure
- Unified view: Azure + VMware + on-prem
- AsureDense proves every backup works
- Restore Azure → on-prem or CloudStack
- Bidirectional hybrid cloud protection
- Enterprise retention with legal holds
Azure DR Without the Azure Bill Shock
Traditional DR keeps VMs running 24/7. Sendense keeps data ready, not compute.
Traditional Azure DR
- Hot standby VMs running 24/7
- Compute costs even when idle
- Premium storage for fast failover
- Network egress during sync
Sendense Azure DR
- Data in Blob, VMs pre-staged only
- Compute only during actual DR
- Cool/archive tiers for older data
- Dedupe reduces transfer costs
