[afnog] Re : Need help on Disaster Recovery Site Setup

[Tracy Musaza]

 Dear Kilima,  

First: 

For your DCR sites you need to setup one box per site using PFsense, a FreeBSD based system , u can install and setup either failover or Load Balancing in 1 hour. both can't work on same time unless this scenario to be improved in the new version. Even if you have 4 or 6 WAN providers,  just get a hardware with 5 Gigabit NIC and let PFsense do the next... I hope U got some skills to manage FreeBSD system.

Objet : [afnog] Need help on Disaster Recovery Site Setup

Hello team,

I am facing a challenge regarding the Disaster Recovery Site that we want to implement in our organization.
It is required that the two sites (Data Center Replicas) should operate either in a load balance nature or failover partners.

The scenario is not an issue to design but the challenge is how should I configure the failover or load balancing for the sites that are distant and connected by MPLS Layer 3 links? I have 4 WAN service providers and it is required all should be involved as our regional sites are connected on either or two of the four where multihoming is used. I have Cisco routers throughout. I have googled but didn't find any useful information.

I wish it was possible to attach a sample scenario drawing here for clarification.
I believe my explanations are clear.

Please help me an idea.

Yasini.
