We are using Vision Solutions OMS/Gold Suite to mirror our 640 system
to a second identical system.  The software is expensive, and can be a
lot of work setting up depending on how complex your environment is,
but it works great once it's set up.  Besides HSA, it also provides
minimal downtime for OS and hardware upgrades.  When we upgraded to
V4R5 our users experienced a total of one hour of downtime.  It also
allows full production backups from the mirrored system with no
downtime at all for the end users.
