All business continuity provisions involve hardware and software redundancy, data replication and some means of failover and failback. The Azure cloud offers redundancy at three layers: within data centers, within regions and across multiple regions. Within data centers, Availability Sets are used to distribute redundant servers across different fault domains located in different racks, which protects against failures at the server and rack levels.
