If you have a SAN available, run VMWare ESX on your servers. You'll have to pay a bit extra for automatic failover. Or, you can use the free version and manually switch your virtuals over in case of failure.
Ken Cornetet 812.482.8499 To err is human - to moo, bovine. From: Robert Jackson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 13, 2012 12:25 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Terminal Server HA Configuration We are about to get 2 brand new servers to be used as Terminal Servers running Windows 2008 Server R2 Enterprise Edition. I'm looking for the best way to have them configured for resilience and high availability. I don't know if we should just have them as 2 separate servers (one being an Acronis clone of the other) or whether some form of clustering/load balancing would be best?
