Clustering / Fail over + Web servers + SQL 2008 + Server 2008

[Izi]

I think you need to take a step back and go and do some serious reading about clustering over on Microsofts site, or head to VMwares site and have a read about esx and it's requirments. Don't jump into this lightly or based on a thread on a forum, you are getting into some quite complicated territory which is fine when it works but can be interesting if it fails. I would want to be very confident in what I was doing if I was deploying this for a customer base.

I agree 100%, i have 4 months before I need to do anything - plenty of time to learn.

I often find learning from others much easier than reading through microsofts jargon, therefore forums are a great resource.

If anyone does have useful links I could start reading on that would be good.

I am contemplating paying for a techy for a day or so to give me a kick start!
