LifeKeeper Solutions
We spoke to Open Minds and they recommended LifeKeeper from SteelEye Technology. It manages the system and, if the active node crashes, automatically fails over to the second node.

This solution will replicate ALL of your Windows server, including the C: drive in real-time, to a backup server. The backup server can be on your LAN or in another location, across a WAN.
The replication traffic is minimised as only changes to data are replicated to the backup server after the initial synchronisation.
Recovery will require a manual procedure, where applications are brought up manually on the backup server manually when the active server goes down. Used for those environments where a certain amount of downtime is acceptable.
