Hi Ilya, No - I'm referring to DRaaS - nothing to do with DR for ACS itself. The Double-Take CP&R is software we can install within the Cloudstack environment to offer DR and replication services to clients that are not running ACS. Just wondering if anyone else had other options that they've tried/installed.
Thanks for the reply anyway.

I can think of a solution that does not require heavy investment. 1) you replicate the VM disk content across to datacenter X 2) you replicate db content from cloudstack, you can just fetch the content from ACS via APIs and re-load the content into secondary ACS. Alena from Citrix explained how she did it @ CCNA14 in Denver. 3) needless to say, you IP between datacenters will change, so VMs should know how to handle that change regards ilya On 9/10/14, 7:10 AM, Adrian Lewis wrote: > Hi All, > > > > We’re currently looking into the possibility of creating a DR as a > service offering for our customers based on ACS.
