For many companies, the DR datacentre represents a significant cost-sink investment, which is only realised when (horror) DR has to be invoked. Given the pressures on budgets these days, there is an increasing demand to make effective use of this datacentre cost by using it for Production purposes. Despite this, the benefits of a truly "active-active" datacentre elude many companies.
A member of the BCS Datacentre special interest group, Dennis Adams discusses different techniques for making effective use of DR infrastructure, and introduces the concept of a "Co-Active" approach to datacentre management, which can lead to significant sharing of costs.
