IBM does this kind of hosting. I didn't put the disaster recovery plan together, so I couldn't give you any idea of costs. We (the term 'we' being used loosely, because more than one company uses this site) have a site in NY that they have servers on site for us to bring up our critical operations, etc etc.
Hope that helps.

I already told them the cost would be enormous, but I am here to supply information that others can then decide for themselves that this solution is cost prohibitive. Thanks - That idea is what I have proposed, at one of our remote sites. Brian Dugas MIS Director Summit Technical Services, Inc.

TRUST me on this...you do NOT need what you're looking for. The cost of such a scenario tens of thousands of dollars...per month in some cases. Do yourself a favor: 1) buy the number of servers you need to get your company back up and operational within your defined timeframe 2) Prepare a site if necessary, or make arrangements with a site to host your servers and some of your end users 3) Determine internet connectivity (generally most office buildings will have high speed access...if not, consider wireless as a backup for your current infrastruture, and if you have a disaster, have that equipment offsite and able to tie in to the wireless network and your LAN) Obviously that's the tip of the iceberg...but it shows you that you can do practically the same thing as remote hosting co's for a fraction of the cost. I doubt that your company would be able to recover, personnell wise, fast enough to take advantage of the instant recovery site. -----Original Message----- From: Brian Dugas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 30, 2001 1:54 PM To: MSWinNT Discussions Subject: Disaster Recovery Options Good Afternoon! I have been asked to research a Disaster Recovery Plan for our NT servers. Does anyone have, or know of, any offsite hosting companies that, in the event of a catastrophic failure at our company, could have redundant servers come online at a remote hosting facility.
