On-Prem to Azure: Recovering Your AD Forest in the Cloud

When ransomware or disaster takes out your physical datacenter, waiting for hardware replacement isn't an option. Microsoft Azure provides an always-available recovery destination where your Active Directory forest can be restored in minutes.

Recovering on-premises AD into Azure involves provisioning virtual machines, configuring isolated virtual networks, restoring Domain Controllers from backup, and validating forest health — all while your production environment may still be compromised.

AD-Phoenix© automates the full on-prem-to-Azure recovery path: it provisions the Azure infrastructure, injects the right drivers, restores your Domain Controllers in the Microsoft-recommended sequence, and validates replication and DNS before handing you a healthy forest.

The same automation supports Azure-to-Azure, on-prem-to-Hyper-V, on-prem-to-ESXi, and bare-metal physical recovery — so whatever your disaster recovery strategy, the recovery path is one click away.
