As an engineer, I tend to go looking for technical papers to provide information on requirements, install, and configuration information for solutions on a regular basis.

Presentation of “Metro Cluster HA or DR“ was from Czech TAM’s David Pasek  (VCDX200) and Standa Jurena. A lot of information from the field.
