I'm looking for a way or a software that will create a mirror of my server in real time. I have two identical server. I would also like the same thing for a workstation. I have two identical workstations and i would like to have them mirrored for redundancy purpose. I would like that in real time if possible.

Thank you

Yes clustering is not for standard ed. It has to do with the number of cpu's supported, I think.

Anyway, real time mirror?

Closest you will get with "what's in the box" is DFS. If I remember correctly you can set how often it replicates.

If that doesn't help then just a simple vbs to run robocopy with the /mon (monitor changes) and /mot (monitor time) switches.

Caching of shared drives is another "out the box" solution.

I more formal aproach? Google may be your friend.

I also was looking for a similar solution.

Although mine was not necessary to be in real time.

I used robocopy as a "free" and "low tech" way to replicate data (with the mirror command) to another file server.

it works.

replicates only changed data (after the first replication)

you can output log files to track your failures

i wrote mine to a batch file, schedule it using windows scheduled tasks program.

I mean i'm sure there are much better ways with more administration control etc...

but hey its free, it works for now....buys you time so you can budget for something better.

      I don't find them "bitchy" or "whiny". I think the term you should use it, uhm, "passionate."

      Ahh, I didn't know that. It makes sense. I was thinking I would be fine with 50 hours, but 100 is close enough that I wouldn't feel like I am paying for more than I am using. I might check it out sometime.
    • Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Google's next-gen Tensor AI chips might be produced by Samsung, report says by Hamid Ganji Image via Google Google’s Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) is produced in collaboration with companies such as Broadcom and TSMC, but a recent report suggests that the search giant is in talks with Samsung to hand over part of the production to the Korean tech company. According to a report by The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, Google has begun talks with Samsung about using its chip manufacturing capacity for the next generation of Tensor AI chips. Google’s upcoming TPUs are reportedly codenamed “Icefish” and will be produced using Samsung's 2-nanometer process technology. Meanwhile, Samsung is expected to produce only a portion of the next-generation Tensor chips, with most of the production remaining at TSMC. The Information says the new Tensor chips are currently in the design stage and are scheduled to enter mass production in 2028. TSMC is generally considered one of the most reliable chip manufacturing partners and is trusted by tech giants such as Apple and Google. However, the growing demand for TSMC’s AI chips, combined with the company’s focus on meeting demand from AI data centers, has reportedly prompted Google to seek additional manufacturing partners for its next-generation TPUs. Besides Samsung and TSMC, Intel could also be assigned part of the production. The Information reported this week is that Google has begun talks with Intel to produce up to three million TPUs in 2028. However, this is not the first time Google has partnered with Samsung on chip production, as Samsung has previously manufactured Tensor chips for Pixel smartphones. Google’s Tensor Processing Unit is used in cloud data centers and competes with NVIDIA’s chips, which currently dominate the market. By relying on in-house chips, Google can not only reduce its dependence on third-party providers but also create new revenue opportunities. The company has already supplied its TPUs to the AI firm Anthropic.

      Reminder that the Premium and Ultimate plans already come with a 100 hour per month limit, which you then have to pay more to increase in 15 hour blocks.
    • Microsoft is bringing big performance improvements to OneDrive on Mac

      It does invite Linux because MS should have been improving their products all along these years instead chose to ignore the users now this year they’re making all of these improvements to their products where as Linux doesn’t have this kind of problems in fact it has gotten so good I can even play Windows games in Steam that I no longer ever needed Windows to carry on with my life, unlike you still use Windows and chose to try beat down down those who don't use Windows because they love their LG TV. (Surprisingly I actually own a 55” LED LG TV and it has been going strong for almost 14 years, longer than any Sony TV”)
