We're implementing Lync 2013 and for our pChat environment we are looking at using a stretch pool as we have two main sites. With regards to the SQL setup for the stretch pool it looks like MS wants you to create a SQL mirror in your 1st DC and then log ship from the secondary node to a SQL server in your 2nd site.
Has anyone else come up with a different config? It doesn't look like Lync 2013 supports SQL Availability Groups yet.
While we like the idea of having the pChat environment more robust it is a lot of infrastructure for the number of users who will use it.
Thanks.
