  Hi,

  I am beginning to look at moving our environment from 2000 to 2005. Was wondering if I could get some good advice. I have the luxury of being able to move to a new server (finally..).

  Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as tools, articles, books, advice, etc.

  I wanted to also ask about high availability options, i.e. products RepliStor, Double-Take, or maybe just use the mirroring option in 2005?

  Also, can someone give me the rundown on replication in 2005 and how robust it is over 2000?

  Thanks.
