Hello-<br />
<br />
I want to look for a cost effective solution for client of mine. <br />
<br />
My client network is virtualized. Three physical servers plus SAN hosting probably 15 virturals servers. They ask me to look for a distaster recovery solution for them. I identified what are important to keep their business running if disaster strikes. <br />
<br />
I want know what type of option they can have. They want have 1 or 2 servers off site in another state. What cost effective solution can i have to replicate the important servers and keep the business up and running when production site is not reachable.<br />
<br />
The servers that are important are the following<br />
<br />
-Exchange 2010 server<br />
-Files server<br />
-SQL<br />
-BES<br />
-Client portal access
