Hi All,
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?
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.
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?
Thanks!
Joe
Hi Trevor,
Thanks for the response. What do you mean by ‘not supported’ in regards to Replica? I have had some success with the Hyper-V replica feature at least. The Metalogix Replicator looks very nice.
Just curious.
Thanks again,
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).
