Part 3 - Double-Take GeoCluster - Multisite File Server Cluster
Eliminate the Single Point of Failure for Improved Cluster Data Protection and Disaster Recovery. GeoCluster protects clustered data using real-time data replication to provide multiple copies of application data from both nodes of the cluster on a standby server or cluster - eliminating any single point of failure. Data is synchronized using standard TCP/IP connectivity allowing the target replica to be located almost anywhere.
This video shows how to create a Multi-site High Availability File Server using Double-Take Availability GeoCluster on three Windows 2008 Servers.
The single site Geocluster created in Part 2 of this video series is extended by adding a 3rd node at a remote site.
This Video shows how an Active/Active File Server Geocluster can be used to protect File Shares located at multiple sites.
This video also demonstrates a severe failure of the the cluster at the remote site, followed by the rapid resumption of service at the primary site.
