I'm wondering what are the growing trends in connecting Data Centers for re=
dundancy in DR/COOP environments.  I imagine VPLS has a big play here, but =
I'm willing to bet there are all sorts of weirdness that such environments =
can create, such as the effect it may have on DR elections, etc.  Also, wha=
t are your experiences in replication of storage over WAN links?  Are peopl=
e tending towards iSCSI or do trends indicate that FCoE or FCoIP may become=
 the preferred mechanism?  Any experience with WAN acceleration in such env=
ironments?

Thanks in advance!
