The natural partner for backend storage infrastructure is LINBIT; as authors and maintainers of DRBD, we are best suited to provide the technical expertise to achieve High Availability. Also, DRBD Proxy is the obvious choice for off-site or disaster recovery replication (from the office into the cloud).
We at LINBIT look forward to seeing this project grow and prosper!
