SunGard did a great presentation with a guest speaker on Wednesday "How to protect IT infrastructure to a second site with Vmware and Replication" The customer was JMB companies from Chicago, funny guy and good presenter. But yea they were able to virtualize thier entire datacenter and protect it to the SunGard facility using Double-Take VRA (Virtual Recovery Assistant). The end result was he was able to easily provision his virtual machines and then replicate them offsite for failover and actually gave an example of how they did this when they experienced a sharepoint issue. They fixed the issue and then failed back. SunGard is a little funny about opening up the Komono but if you ask them what they use for replication and monitoring they will tell you.
