Both our locations are around 3/4 of a mile apart linked by 1 or 10gig ethernet (the fibre will take 10gig so it comes down to cost and necessity).<BR /><BR />I'm now thinking why on earth wouldn't I want to go active/active if we're looking at Lefthand? I'm hoping to have them in next week to discuss options.<BR /><BR />I'm a little blown away by that video tbh as it's not using expensive license options.<BR /><BR />Appreciate any thoughts on whether vSphere's FT really is good enough that you'd be content with (for example):<BR /><BR />Primary Site:<BR />ESX Host<BR />P4000<BR />Single Switch (presumably with VLAN's to keep iSCSI and vMotion/FT traffic separated?)<BR /><BR />Secondary Site:<BR />ESX Host<BR />P4000<BR />Switch (presumably with VLAN's to keep iSCSI and vMotion/FT traffic separated?)
