Almost all of the ( probably all ? ) of the major storage vendors support storage based replication technologies in both synchronous or asynchronous modes.
Synchronous replication carries a performance hit that you will see in events like "log file sync" varies somewhat in impact depending on volume and how commit intensive applications are.
There is absolutely no sense in the statement "You can not make SAN replication synchronous" sounds like either someone that doesn't have relevant experience or perhaps meant something else unrelated to storage based replication between multiple sites. Received on Thu Oct 02 2008 - 17:23:32 CDT
