I want to mock up an architecture for a proof-of-concept and need to synchronously replicate a volume from one Windows Server 2012 R2 to another. Can anyone suggest a (ideally free) way to do this in a lab environment?
I just want to mock up some ideas before trying them in a "proper" SAN-equipped environment.
Check out SDS solutions from HP http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/data-storage/free-vsa.html and StarWind https://www.starwindsoftware.com/starwind-virtual-san-free. They both have free versions, but, if I'm not mistaken, HP VSA can only give you up to 1TB free while StarWind provides unlimited storage capacity.
