Crossposted to VMESA-L, IBM-MAIN, VSE-L, LINUX-390. I'm writing an article for Computer Economics' (http://computereconomics.com/) newsletter, on "cost-effective enterprise disaster planning/preparation/testing/recovery with VM".
I'll appreciate responses describing how organizations use VM for disaster-related efforts, especially illustrating how using VM compares to other alternatives considered or used, tips for efficiency and cost savings, gotchas and problems encountered, lessons learned, any products/services used, whether you use VM with a disaster recovery vendor, anything showing real-world lessons. And, of course, if there are reasons *not* to use VM -- share those too. Please copy responses directly to [EMAIL PROTECTED] since I read these lists as digests. Thanks. -- Gabriel Goldberg, Computers and Publishing, Inc. (703) 941-1657 6580 Bermuda Green Court, Alexandria, VA 22312-3103 [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.cpcug.org/user/gabe>
