 # Set up disaster recovery to a secondary Azure region for an Azure VM        
 
 The [Azure Site Recovery](site-recovery-overview.md) service contributes to your business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy by keeping your business apps up and running, during planned and unplanned outages. Site Recovery manages and orchestrates disaster recovery of on-premises machines and Azure virtual machines (VMs), including replication, failover, and recovery.

+In your source environment, you need a single, highly available, on-premises machine to host on-premises Site Recovery components. Components include the configuration server, process server, and master target server:
 
 - The configuration server coordinates communications between on-premises and Azure and manages data replication.
 - The process server acts as a replication gateway. It receives replication data; optimizes it with caching, compression, and encryption; and sends it to cache storage account in Azure. The process server also installs Mobility Service on VMs you want to replicate and performs automatic discovery of on-premises VMware VMs.
 - The master target server handles replication data during failback from Azure.
 
 To set up the configuration server as a highly available VMware VM, download a prepared Open Virtualization Application (OVA) template and import the template into VMware to create the VM. After you set up the configuration server, register it in the vault. After registration, Site Recovery discovers on-premises VMware VMs.
