- perform a failover that is transparent to the user (i.e. end users do not need to reboot or restart applications)
- check the overall health of the server prior to installation?
- provide an installation process that does not require the failover server to be manually pre-configured?
- offer complete data protection - ensure both the data and the registry can be rolled back?
- protect from all types of failures (data corruption or data loss, operating system performance, network issues and hardware issues)?
- work in a WAN environment?
- offer both a manual and automatic failover/failback?
- prove easy to maintain for upgrades, failovers and switchbacks?
- protect the primary application (e.g. Exchange) AND the auxiliary applications "out-of-the-box," such as anti-virus, archiving, back-up, anti-spam, and fax products?
- allow for comprehensive failover testing - including the application, Active Directory, DNS updates and network connectivity?
