Creating a DR and Business continuity with LeftHand

[bublik]

Let’s say that the WAN link latency is acceptable, is it possible to accomplish with LeftHand?

Hi All,

I would like to create a read/write architecture in two geographically different sites.

Both sites will have combination of SQL and Web applications. The SQL database should be in sync at all times and I would like to test the web applications at any time in both datacenters.

Hi,

I dont't think you can create a synchronized SQL database using a MultiSite SAN. Why don't you use the higher level techniques of your SQL server?

This is indeed correct.

If you have 2ms or less latency between the sites you can make a synchronous replication between the sites for the data on P4000 level... However the SQL instance will only run on 1 site... You can enable MS clustering eventually but that is still active/passive...

If you want 2 SQL servers running at the same time on the same data on the 2 sites, you will need to use SQL functionality...

Kr,
