Building a Low Budget Failover/High Availability Server Setup with Windows
Hello guys, This one is for you before you go for the frothy stuff:-) What is the cheapest way to build a High Availability System using Windows? Anyone done it? Cheaply? I know how to do this kind of stuff using Heartbeat, DRBD, CARP, Freevrrpd but not on Windows. I have two servers - DC and FS and I need a low budget failover. I can add two high-end workstations and some cheap NAS if necessary, but how to do it? :) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
@Wash, talking of NAS, have you tried FreeNAS? Rgds.

I have this D-Link DNS-323 which does RAID1 and appears to run some Linux under the hood. I know that is slow in throughput but again, speed is not that important in the setup I am looking at doing. I used FreeNAS long time go in my test lab at home though. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
