Hi all, we are designing a DR solution for one of our customers and we need some help.
We will have 2 Win2012R2 Hyper-V Servers connected to a SAN. We will setup a 2-node Win2012R2 Guest SQL 2012 Std Failover Cluster. We will use merge replications with 4 subscribers (SQL 2012 Std) for some branch offices. We want to protect our publisher in case of disaster. So we intend to have another Wind2012R2 Server with SQL2012Std on different infrastructure (on the same building).
What kind of protection (log shipping, mirroring) should we use for the published database and also for the system databases (master, model, distribution etc)?
Thank you in advance, George
