I'm wondering what are the growing trends in connecting Data Centers for redundancy in DR/COOP environments.
'DR' is an obsolete 40-year-old mainframe concept; it never works, as funding/testing/scaling of the 'backup' systems is never adequate and/or allowed.
Layer-2 between sites is evil, as well.
