Hi all,

I have a client whose needs are:

SBS 2003 R2 , 2 NICs, ISA Installed

Create a solution through cluster or mirror of a member server where he runs
"critical" LOB. If the server 1 goes down, server 2 comes right on.
Can anyone share some ideas on this?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Daniel

Please note that this venue is due to be closed in a few days and you
will get much more attention in the new SBS Forum hosted by MS at the following
location.

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/smallbusinessserver/threads

You can either use your web browser, or if you prefer to use your existing
(or different) nntp news reader you can use one of the official MS bridge
applications, or the combined one on codeplex.com

Official MS Bridge - Note two required.
http://connect.microsoft.com/MicrosoftForums/

Codeplex nntp bridge - only one required.
http://communitybridge.codeplex.com/

With that out of the way....Does the client already have SBS 2003? If not...definitely need to consider SBS 2008, Single NIC, Hardware Firewall.

So actually what you'd want is a separate server for the LOB and for it's failover. It would be helpful to know more about the app to give you better suggestions.
