Wasn't sure where to ask this question.

Was wondering what everyone is doing in regards to server/db protection?

Do you run your DB's on independent servers?

Do you run your DB's on clustered servers?

Do you run your DB's on redundant haardware w/ a 3rd party
application for bit-to-bit data replication?

Is anyone placing the DB's on a SAN's?

We're at a crossroads, and looking for a good direction to ensure the DB's are up.

Any insight welcome.
Thanks,
Kerry

Why are you running in both independent and clustered environments?

What is the advantage, disadvantage (for you) for either direction?

Thanks,

Because there is no such thing as "best practice". Every situation has its own set of requirements and constraints.

In other words.....

it depends
