Wide-area clusters which provide replication of mail stores and log files along with monitoring and recovery of critical Exchange services provide this protection. This paper presents eight best practices which, when used as guideposts during cluster implementation, assure the success of any Exchange disaster recovery deployment. SteelEye LifeKeeper, the leading integrated solution for Exchange high availability clustering and disaster recovery is also introduced.
