Platespin

  • A quick question:

    Would anyone ever use platespin as a DR solution for SQL?

    Is it better to use SQL mirroring or would anyone use a different technology?

    example of setup:

    2 servers, one can be passive so you only need one live server at a time, the servers are seperated physically in two seperate data centres.

    Thanks

    Some questions need an answer...

    - How big is the network pipe in between both datacenters?

    - Do you have point-to-point connectivity in between datacenters with any assured SLA?... or are you depending on public internet for connectivity?

    - What's the latency in between datacenters?

    - What's your SLA to get DR server up when primary goes down?

    - What's your SLA in terms of loosing primary site transactions in case of a crash?
