I'm looking for some free advice and was referred here by an expert. What I'd like to set up is a link between two data centers. The idea is to connect two clustered hosts running a DEC operating system that provides load-balancing and volume shadowing across cluster members. I run that O/S at only one office in Portland right now but I'm trying to develop a disaster-avoidance concept.
The software specs call for a 10 mbps or better link so a cheap 802.11g bridge looked good on paper. Location 1 is on a hillside with an unobstructed line of sight to a neighborhood three miles away and about 100 feet lower in elevation. I've got a couple Ubiquiti Bullet2 wireless units (2.4GHz) and am thinking about getting a couple 24dBi grid parabolic antennas such as Pacific Wireless DC24HDPF1PF-EZ. If I could get a couple laptops talking reliably then I'd have a demo for my boss. If not, then I'd have some almost-new gear to contribute to a worthy 501(c)(3) organization. So before I go embarrass my self too seriously I wanted to get your reaction. Would a setup like this be supportable from a networking point of view? Or should I be looking at heavier artillery? Pointers to FAQs are welcome, too.
