You could (and people did) actually maintain standby using custom

Like HP EVA CA or YottYotta I should think...and come to think of it
with the EE->SE savings you might be able to afford something like
YottaYotta


I'm not an expert in replication solutions provided by storage vendors
but I did hear some compliments about old good EVA. Even though, I
believe this induces some additional dependencies between two storage
boxes. On the other hand, storage vendor replication can keep DR site
more up to date and up to real time.
Cost could be another advantage of manual standby assuming scripting
is done properly and management efforts are not high.
