We are implementing a cold site in terms of providing services, but
our SAN updates in near real-time.  We chose this model in part
because of cost and complexity issues but, physical space and
manpower played into it as well.  We are starting with our ERP and
email systems, but again, this is primarily from a data perspective,
there will be very limited front-end application availability.  If we
do need to bring up an application at the DR site we are currently
playing with around a 4 hour window.
