Introduction
Designing a disaster recovery system requires planning and consideration of the available options that will best fit your companys needs, SLA and budget.
This guide will help you design an exchange disaster recovery plan in conjunction with SANRAD Replication. The guide assumes that you have basic knowledge of SANRAD V-Switch and Exchange Administration.
Exchange Disaster Recovery Planning
This section discusses both general and Exchange specific considerations that need to be addressed when designing a disaster recovery solution combining SANRAD replication and Microsoft Exchange Server.
General Considerations:
SANRAD replication solution allows for flexibility with exchange disaster recovery design.
The most influential factors affecting design consideration are:
Budget limitations
Recovery Time Objective (RTO) requirements (the time until the data is back online)
Recovery Point Objective (RPO) requirements (the amount of data that can be lost)
Network bandwidth between the local site and remote site
Replication method: Synchronous versus Asynchronous
Replication frequency (only...
