Re: iTera Echo2 DR Edition

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well I was really after some stuff specifically about their DR 
edition which is not a straight replication solution, but seems to be 
more of a clever twist on a HA product to produce a DR solution which 
includes recovery up to the last transaction.

It looks pretty interesting - their web site claims that remote 
journals can be spun off to another box (which can be a cheap linux 
box) and then in conjunction with a restore the entire box can be 
recovered up to the last transaction. Presumably there are tools that 
make this a little more manageable than it sounds off the cuff.

My interest is somewhat academic at this stage - I'm just curious as 
to whether this is a viable approach which can be used to produce an 
outcome of having no transaction lost in the event of a system loss, 
and whether anyone on here had actually used the product to do this 
or tested it.
