Hi

We have a Hyper-V cluster running 5 virtual terminal servers using HA.

We need to be able make this system redundant and so if this site was to fail our users could log into the backup system at another location and access their data via the terminal servers.

Any ideas?

We were thinking of maybe using a NAS which replicated the data to the other location in real-time(pass-through disks)? and having a similar Hyper-V cluster setup in the backup location. However we would need to create the users in both location and create a virtual mirror without the data ie applications, directories, settings etc.

Is this the best way to achieve this? We have read that using Hyper-v pass through disks is a big performance de-grade.
