    I will be using Steeleye Datakeeper to do the clustering of SQL 2008 ... it does not require shared storage. See below.

    That looks interesting. What's the advantage vs just using VMWare/Hypervisor?

    They don't have any of their white papers open without registering.

    I would be very wary about putting anything teir 1 on a solution without extensive documentation and wide field adoption. You're probably going to be locked in to the vendor for support if things go bad, make sure you get a support contract with a good sla.
