Redundant Data Center Architectures

Wed Oct 28 14:56:18 UTC 2009

We are doing:

Citrix XenServer environments at both sites with NetApps for the SANs
MPLS connections with Riverbeds for WAN op.

Let me know if you wanna dig into this deeper.

I imagine VPLS has a big play here, but I'm willing to bet there are all sorts of weirdness that such environments can create, such as the effect it may have on DR elections, etc.  Also, what are your experiences in replication of storage over WAN links?  Are people tending towards iSCSI or do trends indicate that FCoE or FCoIP may become the preferred mechanism?  Any experience with WAN acceleration in such environments?
