Re: Doing remote journals to the cloud

[Jim Oberholtzer <midrangel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There are several vendors offering services of this type.  The question 
is are a) you interested in just having the journals available off site 
with the intention of getting them backed up and sent to you in the 
event of a recovery,  or b) interested in a replicated back up solution 
that offers a hot side for recovery, or c) a Nearly HA environment where 
a cutover to the hot site  can be done reasonably quickly?  You need to 
have Recovery Points and Recovery times in mind when you call the 
vendor, those are among the first questions they will ask.

<Vendor Response>
Larry and I are preparing such a service now as a full commercial 
extension to iDevCloud.

Logicalis and Park Place  are two of several vendors offer similar 
services.  Please contact Larry or myself off line if interested.

Keep one copy local and send another to a remote server farm. That would give is almost up to the second recovery capabilities in case of disaster. We use the last backup and the journals form the cloud.
