Orion SQL Redundancy - Which setups work well?

byrona

I am curious about how other people have configured their SQL redundancy for their Orion installations?

We are currently using log shipping but I would prefer a more hot-standby automatic fail-over solution if possible.

What are the rest of you doing to solve this?

Well Byron, it doesn't appear you had much success in gaining any feedback.  I hope my post will spark some discussion.

I'm also curious to know what others have done to implement SQL redundancy between two data centers?  We are about to implement FOE in our redundant data center and are seeking a solution for our SQL server as well.  I noticed there was a webcast back in Aug 2011 on Creating High Availability and Fault Tolerant Environments using SolarWinds Failover Engine which included Best practices for SQL redundancy.  SolarWinds, was this webcast recorded and available?

Can anyone advise of any industry whitepapers on Best practices for SQL redundancy?  Does SolarWinds have any?

I'm aware there is a product called Neverfail for SQL Server by Neverfail (here).  Is anyone using this product?  How well does it work for you?  Do you recommend this product over other alternatives?  

Any advice is greatly appreciated!
