Symantec has announced it will extend Symantec's Storage Foundation High Availability for Windows and Veritas Volume replicator disaster recovery software solution to the Windows Azure cloud platform.
The company said that this will allow organisations to recover business critical applications and their associated data in Windows Azure in the event of a local failure or site disaster.
The solution will expand the ability of Symantec's existing business continuity solutions for Microsoft, providing on-premise-to-cloud disaster recovery as a service.
