This will make everyone sit up and pay attention. And before I go on, I will just say it’s about time. Business Continuity just became more practical for the majority of small and medium size businesses out there. Here's why:
Which disaster is more likely to happen?
- Your office building burns down.
- Your server crashes and it will take hours to diagnose and restore.
Of course, the answer is #2, and it is the culprit more than 98% of the time. Yes, it's 98% more likely to occur than #1.
A new advancement in technology now provides Business Continuity for disasters that fall into the #2 category. If your server fails, you can now have a fully redundant server back in action in less than an hour. This starts with the installation of a server at your facility. This server can be configured up to duo core processors, 8GB RAM, and 2TB, which offers considerable power as a temporary failover server.
When your local server fails, it will take Granite Mountain less than 1 hour to have you up and operational with your onsite failover servers. Even better, Granite Mountain can provide this service for up to 10 of your LAN servers. This includes Microsoft Server 2003, Microsoft Server 2008, Microsoft Terminal Server, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, and Microsoft Exchange Server.
How much does this cost? One hundred dollars ($100) per server per month. When you consider that cluster servers cost $15,000+ in hardware and software alone AND a Tier 3 engineer to support it, then $100 is a fantastic value. Further, at this price it becomes affordable to provide failover server functionality for all your mission critical servers. Business Continuity just became affordable.
