Exchange 2007 Local and DR fail overs

Which Netapp product(s) I can use to make Exchange Highly available locally and also failover to remote DR site in case of disaster.

I am assuming local failover will involve Exchange 2007 SP 1 CCR. The remote DR failover seems a little cloudy, use SCR and use microsoft's log shipping or use single node cluster in DR in standby mode and use snapmirror to replicate the db and logs luns to the remote site and in time of disaster make the remote site luns read/write and point the single node cluster to the db and log luns?

The articles from netapp gives 2 solutions but both of them I think are not practical solutions. Anyone out there using netap with exchange 2007 and dealt with this kind of scenario? if so what setup did you guys go with? either be it all MS solution or all NetApp solution or a mix of both. Thanks in advance.
