CCR may be the most interesting apsect of Exchange 2007 that I’ve come across so far.\u00a0 The one aspect of MS solutions that I’ve had a big probelm with is their implementation (or lack thereof) of a a true Disaster Recovery solutoin, i.e. a geo-cluster.\u00a0 What’s a geo-cluster?\u00a0 Imagine your office burns down and you have a DR site.\u00a0 If you are a big financial or government then you may only have X hours to invoke and get the business back up and running.\u00a0 MS clustering for SQL 2000 and Exchange 2000\/2003 just weren’t up to this.\u00a0 Lotus Notes *choke*\u00a0freaks loved to remind us that they had a true DR clustering solution and that Exchange didn’t.\u00a0 They were right.\u00a0 I hate saying that.<\/p>\n
But the worm may have turned!\u00a0 Exchange 2007 includes a function called Cluster Continuous Replication<\/a>.\u00a0 The concept is that the mailbox server can be configured to replicate mailbox databases to\u00a0a "passive" node.\u00a0 In the event of a DR invocation, you can failover and use the formerly "passive" node as your "active" node.\u00a0 Here’s where things start to get nice.\u00a0 You don’t need a shared SAN.\u00a0 The two nodes can use their own locally attached disk.<\/p>\n I’ve not dug into CCR too much yet.\u00a0 I’ve only speed read the above article.\u00a0 This may be a solution that will finally allow us to rid ourselves of EMC Autostart, Neverfail and their ilk for Exchange DR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CCR may be the most interesting apsect of Exchange 2007 that I’ve come across so far.\u00a0 The one aspect of MS solutions that I’ve had a big probelm with is their implementation (or lack thereof) of a a true Disaster Recovery solutoin, i.e. a geo-cluster.\u00a0 What’s a geo-cluster?\u00a0 Imagine your office burns down and you … Continue reading “Exchange 2007 Cluster Continuous Replication”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8684\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
