Here's a decent write
Hi
HA, Consolidated Backup, and a couple of other technologies are what really
make this an enterprise solution, providing near 24x7x365 uptime and rapid
redeployment of an infrastructure after catastrophic loss of the datacenter.
Can you tell me exactly what "Consolidated Backup" means

The EqualLogic units we are looking at are the baseline
Quoting Stan Hoeppner :
- Add redundancy to the storage using DRDB (I believe a successful
strategy with Dovecot is pairs of servers, replicated to each other -
run each at 50% capacity and if one dies the other picks up the slack)
DRDB is alright for a couple of replicated hosts with moderate

I think Stan pretty much covered how to do this stuff *properly*,
however, for those following along in the bedroom, there are a couple of
