Applications can be switched fast and easily, especially Web applications. Either you have a SAN/NAS wth two Arrays and synchronous replication ($$$), or you use DRBD. There is some new distributed filesystems or storage systems who emerge : - Ceph - glusterfs More specific for Virtual Machines : sheepdog Or key-value : all the No-SQL movement, redis, cassandra...
