We currently have exchange 2007 std running in our environment. We've been researching High Availability and we are leaning toward the CA's HA software solution. The other option would be to migrate to Exchange 2010 std and implement DAG. But this would require more time to implement. Has anyone used either or both of the solutions mentioned? What's your opinion on this? I'm kind of thinking just going with CA's software for now and in 3 to 4 years from now, just upgrade to either exchange 2010 or whatever next version might be at that time.
 
In three or four years, 2010 will be a deprecated version.
Don't forget that DAG gives you plenty of advantages other than just plain old HA. Among them being splitting the load of active mailboxes across multiple servers, while using those same servers to provide HA. With DAG, HA is at the database level, not just the server level.

Plan for performance, and capacity takes care of itself. Plan for capacity, and suffer poor performance.
 
Think activation time and RPO. Compare the two. What do you come up with in an Exchange 2007 environement? How about Exchange 2010?
