seperate ADFS farm for disaster recovery Office 365 Hybrid scenario


consider scenario have on premise adfs farm , planning place additional adfs server in windows azure office 365 hybrid environment, additional adfs server/new farm act secondary point of contact in case on premise adfs servers not available.

        can place “separate” adfs farm in windows azure? idea can avoid replication of adfs wid database(or shared db in case of sql) on premise azure

  1.        if place separate adfs farm in azure, new adfs farm in azure doesn’t know federated domain known on premise adfs farm. understand have again convert company.com federated domain convert-msoldomaintofederated -domainname company.com. supported run again adfs farm against same office 365 tenant?
  2.        if above point 1 , point 2 not valid options, hope options available me either use wid on adfs servers , replicate wid azure adfs server member of same farm, or optionally use shared sql database between on premise adfs , azure adfs.

hi,

to provide office 365 single sign-on integration of on-premises ad , windows azure, recommended use on-premises environment active use , azure business continuity. in case of disaster, failover between on-premises infrastructure , hosted infrastructure manual operation.

it not recommended setting a cross-premises, high-availability (active/active) configuration.
