Networking considerations

• Dynamic IP for failed over VM in Azure

• Connects VMs to mapped Azure network post failover

• Site to Site connection

• Point to Site connection

• Use Express Route (1.5 GB/Sec)

• Certification with WAN Optimizers like Riverbed (74%)

• Inbuilt optimization to transfer only used blocks

• Throttling supported through Host Agent
