MIRRORED SERVERS ADVICE

[Tobez]

Start new job in June and the technical director is an NT4 wiz, but knows nothing about 2k, they want me to install 2k and exchange etc, he has mentioned he would like Mirrored servers IE 2 doing same job for redundency, i thouht this was so in NT4 but i think clustering or a SAN would be better, can ne1 advise me on if i can Mirror 2 win2k servers, is it easy, or what better option would ne1 reccomend, i was going to use a beefy server and have 6 drives with large raid redundent network cards etc etc, rather than 2 servers ?


please advise

If all u want is redundancy, then all u need is 2 HDDs and put them onto a RAID 1 config =)

+ a tape backup drive and u r set.
