Disaster Recovery Site |
|
|
I'm looking into setting up a Disaster Recovery site for
Exchange 2000. Is there a way to replicate server data,
whether live or a day behind to an outside location. Can
you cluster over network?

Hello:
I am not aware of anything "out of the box" in Exchange that can do that.
There are some third party products, so search for them.
Regards,
Martin

we use EMC's geo-span clustering...it works (most of the time; not always),
but is very expensive...

What do you mean by "most of the time" ?
What would be the point of spending that amount of money for disaster
recovery if it doesn't work when you need it?
Is this another example of the evil money corporation selling something they
don't deliver on?
Keep in mind I've been to several unhappy customer sites. They were unhappy
with EMC due to the over-promise/under-deliver philosophy they ran into.
One engagement was specifically set to be completed by the time that EMC was
removed from the premises so that there would be no data loss. There was no
chance of changing the end date :)
That said, I have seen the geo-span work so I'm wondering why yours isn't?
As for the original post, what are your exact requirements. You may find
that geo-clustering concepts are not what you need, but rather one solution
that may fit your needs. There are many other factors to consider. More
information about requirements would help guide such a discussion.

As I said, most of the time it works...but we've experienced several times a
condition where the R1 disks and the R2 disks both think they "own" the
node...I've received no satisfactory explanation of how this could occur,
but it's happened to us 2 or 3 times since we implemented the geo-span
clusters about a year ago...the times when it's worked seamlessly, our users
didn't even know a failover had occurred...but when there's a problem, it
gets very ugly, very fast...
