Hi All,Â
I am curious what type of Disaster Recovery plans everyone has in place today. This can be for cold, warm, or hot standby environments.
Does anyone have a SharePoint farm split between geographical locations? What technologies are you using to accomplish both SharePoint and SQL replication? OOTB, third-party, etc. How do you perform your replication if using SAN storage?Â
Has anyone been using the Hyper-V Replica feature that is new with Windows 2012? That seems to help quite a bit as long as everything is local storage. This also only accomplishes a ‘warm’ standby environment.Â
Just trying to get a feel for what works best for everyone out there and what technologies are used the most. Almost like a poll. Does anyone have a ‘hot’ standby/failover environment?Â
Thanks!
Joe
Replica, not supported. SAN replication, not supported. Anything that replicates VMs is essentially not supported. You can replicate the content via 3rd party, SharePoint-integrated products (AvePoint/Metalogix). You can also use SQL replication between two separate farms for longer distances, and SQL replication (AlwaysOn Sync) between the same farm for very short distances (<= 1 ms/1Gbps).
