OK guys, just looking for some opinions and feedback here. We have a minor disagreement at work and I am trying to see where you weigh in. I’ll try to present this in as unbiased a manner as possible.

The main question is how long should it take to roll out a DR environment given:

-

   we currently have a physical standby running
-

   no knowledge of RPO or RTO
-

   incomplete knowledge of type of application connections to DB
-

   incomplete knowledge of number of applications connecting to DB
-

   incomplete knowledge of upstream and downstream feeds/connections to DB
-

   unknown whether failover requires failover of entire application stack    or not
-

   homegrown failover scripts (currently being used in another environment)    are being proposed
-

   no testing plan in place as of yet.

How much time would you allocate to getting this up and running? Any other comments on this proposal?

Thanks.

Henry
