Microsoft Cross-Site Disaster Recovery Solutions: End-to-End Solutions Enabled by Windows Server 2008 Failover Clustering, Hyper-V, and Partner Solutions for Data Replication

This white paper discusses how organizations can build effective and highly available Disaster Recovery (DR) solutions using Microsoft virtualization and failover capabilities complemented with partner data replication products. It showcases various available end-to-end disaster recovery solutions for different scenarios. Each scenario enables organizations to select a Microsoft partner product to provide cross-site data management and replication that is appropriate for a company's particular environment. The solutions discussed in this paper are generic approaches for structuring DR solutions in a geographically dispersed Hyper-V environment with the help of clustering.
