HADR Solution for SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) 2014 on Azure Iaas

Hi All

I am required to build a HA/DR solution for SQL Server and SSAS 2014 on Azure. So far I could build AlwaysOn high availability solution for SQL Server on Azure but haven't found any solution for SSAS.

Failover Clustering is not an option on azure because of the restriction of not been able to use shared storage. We also determined that the cost savings of using SQL + the cost of the 3rd Party replication tool was a wash (ie no real cost savings).

Any lead on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
