I came into this company and have pretty much overhauled their entire network. Going from an NT environment I have upgraded all their major systems to 2K3 AD as well as Exch 2K3. So the core network itself is running well. But now my thinking is switching over to disaster recovery mode. Pondering about the “what if’s”. Right now my network relies on tape backup. But I want more safety and less downtime. We have a remote office in NJ(we are loctaed in MD) with a full up T1 connecting us. I’m thinking about server redundancy, but am new to this.
Could anyone suggest the right path to ensuring 0 downtime for servers such as File Servers, Exchange Servers, and DB Servers? What systems would I need to institute to ensure that my users and the outside world never notice a blip on the radar screen?
Thanks for your time and advice.
Mike
