    My company is in the market to implement a High Availability Clustering (Replication) system for our MSSQL servers. The failover server must be remote. I have no problem recommending the reliable underdogs to my boss.

    I appreciate any comments or ideas.

    Hi Sohrab,

    you do not specify if you are SQL2K or 2K5 and if you are 2K, whether you have to stay at that level. If you don't or are at  2K5 at the mo, examine the inbuilt feature of a proper hot-standby option that is available in the higher versions of 2005. Then perhaps use a 2K3 Cluster at both sites to hold the databases.

    Personally I could not recommend Veritas's Clustering solution (SIC Symantec - boy that does not fit!!!) as my current client is running one of the worlds largest deployments of this and it is very painfull (also, does not do what they were promised - a DR would take aprox 2 weeks to complete for all instances :crazy

    Cheers

    Steve
