For a few decades now, all prudent IT departments have had some form of disaster recovery (DR) plan in place. For many companies, that still solely entails sending nightly tape backups offsite and arranging for a site, possibly one owned by a recovery service provider, where data and applications can be loaded onto systems and run should disaster strike the primary data center. Increasingly, because of more stringent regulations concerning data and system protection and because already high downtime costs are continuing to rise, organizations are augmenting DR with high availability (HA).
