RE: Power HA

Rob,

What are you replacing your SSD drives with?

We are in the same boat, HA/DR costs way too high.

I talked to a user last week also using QuickEDD, 2 hour plus role swap time.

Preliminary figures on moving from Mimix to Power HA is ~$790k vs less than a 10th of that to go to QuickEDD. Granted, we're planning on replacing all of our SSD drives anyway due to the maintenance costs so that drops the PowerHA solution down closer to ~$500k. But that's still a pretty intolerable swallow.

A bulk of the cost is the SAN. The rest is training, installation, etc.

I just do not see PowerHA happening.

Our current switches work. We do them quarterly. We do backups on our backup machine. The only real complaint we have is that Mimix lags so darn far behind in supporting new features of the OS.
