As for this solution itself? I think the prices are too high and it would sitll be too much work to maintian on going.
It sounds the the Hyper-V model for replication.
Replication like this is really, really only for a small group of businesses.
We had talked about this the other day in the thread with the bank that paid the crypto.
This type of thing is only good for site loss recovery, because it is replication.
Very few businesses need that. I mean still thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, need it. But that is a tiny percentage of businesses.
The last two SMBs I worked for must be exceptions
One was financial and the other was medical.The financial business relied on doing loans which are obviously big money. Being down for an hour was not an option. We had about 125 servers on prem with some SaaS stuff as well.
The medical place did heart monitors and handled huge orders and couldn't afford down time either.
Both places had under 250 employees and had offside data centers.

But had on prem for their primary workloads?

The problem that the typical SMBs face is that they have no failover for the people or site. If the site is down, IT is already off of the table.

Yeah - that seemed weird to me.

We had a very old core that only supported a few apps and none of them were SaaS at the time
