Our organization migrated from a physical to a virtual server environment and are considering including a system "fail-over" mechanism as a part of our disaster recovery plan. This would involve the implementation of continuous data transmission between our office and an off-site location that would have a duplication of our IT infrastructure. Has anyone else deployed this process as a part of their disaster recovery protocols?

Many IT departments have recieved proposals that have the cost of hardware and software. Have any of you developed a good 5-year Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) equation that also takes into account the other variables such as training costs, which is driven by cost per employee hour and total number of hours; upgrade costs and additional training time; depreciation schedules; etc. It seems that there are also a number of intangibles such as ease of training, implementation and reduction of physician frustration that should be considered. Feedback is welcome.
