Posting to groups again..

Can someone give me a list of outside vendors that help support High
Availability of SQL across geographically dispersed locations. I know
Veritas, NSI, EMC have some solutions that eliminate the shared disk storage
limitation of clustering.. Thanks.Using SQL 2000

if you go with hardware (EMC or Hitachi), you are usually going with
"synchronous" which will raise the ongoing cost of the solution in bandwidth
and limit the maximum distance apart that the nodes can be.

if you go with NSI, you can go any distance since its asynchronous and as a
software-only soluton, you wont have to buy to expensive Symetrix boxes and
SRDF.

....though you would risk lose Microsoft support for your cluster by doing
so.
