Storage replication between datacenters

I'm curious as to how others are replicating their data between datacenters. I've got a couple of small (2TB) SAN's at two locations and don't want to spend a lot of money for the replication.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Storage replication between datacenters

Have you looked at doubletake? We were using it at a previous job to replicate disks between two sites.

Hi,

What kind of SAN vendor do you use?

some vendors have default software available.

For instance Netapp has snapmirror and even Metrocluster (SAN cluster spread over different locations)

Re: Storage replication between datacenters

We use a completely different replication scheme for out Tier 1 applications. Any VM at our HQ is recreated at the DR site OS only. The Data volume resides on a SRDF LUN which is replicated over the weekend and remounted to the parent VM on Monday at the DR site. The pipe to DR is very fast and controlled by our storage engineers.
