Hi,

I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of implementing a high availability BES 5.0 environment, with Exchange 2010 Database Availability Groups and MULTI DATACENTRE ENVIRONMENTS.

I understand that Exchange 2010 can be multi DC, and that SQL backend can be clustered or mirrored accross DC's, the question I have is around is around the BES front end server. I have read the following document "us.blackberry.com/ataglance/get_the_facts/BES5_High_Availability.pdf" which clearly. I know we have the option of creating a "BlackBerry Enterprise Server" pair and I understand how this would be beneficial for High Availability in 1 DC......but I cannot see this as being a viable solution for multi dc environments, for example you could end up with an Exchange Server (CAS) being and a SQL server working in 1 DC and a BlackBerry Enterprise server running in another DC (this would throttle our WAN links).

Any suggestions (other than SAN level replication)???

Please Help!!!

You need to look in the BES Admin Corner.
