Hi all
Sorry if I am missing something here but since when is a pure software solution
that replicates an entire drive going to offer perforamnce anywhere near that
of a cluster using shared drives. This seems nothing more than a co-standby
server solution like say Vinca? Rather than a single shared drive it runs huge
amounts of replciation between dupliacte drives on duplicate servers. I can
actually see you paying more for an inferior solution from what I have seen so
far.
Hardware clustering is far more resilient if done correctly but it does come at
a price, of course. At the end of the day you get what you pay for.
Regards,
Paul Lemonidis.

I never considered MCS to be more difficult than adding a third-party app.
Is that all it does? How does it make the recovery so fast? How does it check
for db consistency?

It is much simpler because it can be implemented on a single day, it
replicates data on the bit level, it's a cheap software, and if you want, you
can user a slower machine or any other machine for redundancy.
No, while Brightstor is replicating, it doesn't know if the file is a
database or a Star Wars movie. It's all the same for him.

So, really, it's not much different than the MCS solution from Microsoft
except that a) it's replicating data on the bit level? and b) it's software vs.
hardware solution? I'm missing where it saves the time? It has to ensure that
the database is consistent right? Or does it?
