Thanks Bharat,

I've been lucky enough to talk with an Exchange tech today at Microsoft's UK
HQ in Reading, here's what I've learnt:

SCR as implemeneted in SP1 will still require clustering.

As explained to me, it effectively allows the active node to Seed and
Log-Ship to a storage area at a seperate datacentre (this is done in addition
to the seeding/logshipping being done by the passive node).

This offsite copy can then be accessed by a dedicated server at that site.
My understanding is that the 'recovery' steps need to bring the offsite
service online in the event of the datacentre being unavailable would be
manual ones

Exchange 14 when it's released, will remove the need for MSCS to be used to
cluster.

Hopefully I'm not speaking out of turn - All of the above are my views based
on informal chats with Exchange contacts at MS, so please dont take it as
gospel. If it turns out to be mis-information because I haven't understood I
apologise,  but hopefully it'll be of some benefit until more official info
is available.

All the best,

Darren
