redis - How to create a local Windows-based service bus outside of Azure, similar to Redis with automatic fail-over?

Question

We are implementing a service/message-bus feature in our SignalR application and have been looking at Redis, with automatic fail-over using Redis Sentiel. We would like to maintain our own servers and have read SignalR powered by Service Bus. Since this is a Winddows Azure implementation, how can I accomplish this in our internal network with VM's with automatic fail-over similar to the Redis solution discussed above?

You may want to look at Service Bus for Windows Server: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj193022(v=azure.10).aspx

It has API symmetry between Azure Service Bus and the Windows Server API (particularly for messaging: queues and topics/similar to SignalR). It doesn't include the caching and ACS services. However, if you want the Azure Service Bus - Caching...you can get that in:
