I'm using Citrix XenServer for the virtual platform host. I'm looking for recommendations as to disaster recovery and replication, aside from the usual backup licenses I'd need for each host. The unit will host machines for file and print, SQL systems, and various storage servers. I've used Double-Take in the past for an active-active fail over scenario, and that's one thing I'm considering for data replication to our off-site offices where I'd have similar virtual machines configured. Our new enterprise system will be housed on the SAN, so fail over and fall back are pretty high on the list of necessary features. Recommendations?
