Thanks, Ronnie. I've been a member of ITPro TV for 4 years now and I've learned a lot in that time. Particularly, from you and Wes.
I guess the main point here is the definition of Synchronous RR stated in the last scenario is not entirely correct.
SRR replicates both ways simultaneously.
The criticality of the data being stored would be a factor. If it was critical data, SRR would be the choice, if not, ARR would be acceptable.
Also, cost effectiveness would influence a decision between the two. One is more expensive than the other.
Sorry, I don't mean to be a hard head about this. I normally include supplemental reading material to enhance and deepen my learning experience. I came across the definitions in my reading and happened to remember the 4 scenario in this video mentioned above.
I understand everything you wrote in your last reply.
Thanks very much! I appreciate all the replies! I don't use the message boards often, but I thought this topic was worth questioning.
Keep up the good work!
