I work indirectly for a reseller of Neverfail, which is another similar product, and that said, I would agree that if you have Exchange, AD, and MS-SQL dealt with already in satisfactory ways, then that only leaves potentially file and print, and maybe IIS if you're running that, or custom applications that need to be dealt with.
IMHO, in general, all such products are designed to give you a relatively inexpensive alternative to a cluster or manual failover/etc. They really only make sense when you don't have something in place already and don't want or can't afford to do the whole ball of wax. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 2:07 PM To: ActiveDir (E-mail) Subject: [ActiveDir] Doubletake(OT) Anyone using Doubletake out there? My manager is interested in purchasing it and I was wondering what you guys think of it, yea or nay. In my enviorment it doesn't seem to make sense except as to file servers. DC's have built in redundancy if you have more than 1 and we have an active/passive exchange2k3 cluster plus with RSG and/or dial tone restore, it doesn't seem to apply here as well. For MS SQL we are using a log shipping solution. So i was just wondering if any one out there had experience with this or a simillar product and how they are using it and if its worth it to get. Thanks a lot. List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
