EMC VPLEX Geo/Stretch Clustering

Anyone out there making use of EMC VPLEX geo/stretch clustering? I am redesigning our current data center and will be splitting it up and hosting it across two locations.

I had a look at NetApp and some other offerings like DoubleTake, using cross-site replication using DPM, etc. but none of them really do what I'm looking for.

The EMC solution looks like the most viable. I need 99.9% uptime, and my DC includes Oracle DBs, MS SQL, Hyper-V, and some custom applications.

For the time being, we'll assume that I have a bottomless pocket

With a big enough link, i dont see why this wouldnt be an issue.

What size wan link between the DCs are you planning.

are you looking at having an active active setup or a failover site.
