Q. We have 5 servers holding mission critical application, and non accessible from the internet. Those 5 servers are physically located in the middle east.
We would like to create a Disaster recovery mechanism, so that If the 5 servers go down for some reason, 5 other servers will be up in some other location (in north america most probably).
If the Data we are talking about is 60/80 GBs, what would the best transport network be?
We simply can not use a public network like the internet. would you recommend a channel over the internet (like a VPN?)
or are there some types of networks that can do such a thing?
what Bandwidth should I be looking at?
Thanks a lot!

A. Your best bet would be to call a hosting provider who does this all the time. Dedicated IP, and VPN, and all that are fine, we do the same thing here, but we have a huge pipe and its still an awful ping time (to Malaysia). Netapp has a great app too, try them or call Peak 10 headquarter in Charlotte NC, ask for Jeff dolan, and he can get you an engineer. They are a great help on this stuff because like I said they help people all the time. Netapp has a great appliance that caches data and only streams necessary information. Its very cool how it caches data
