We have some new Dell rack servers running new installs of ESX 5.5 U1,
and looking to buy a redundant server to use as a backup for the
primary.
The budget is healthy enough for appropriate hardware and storage
(likely a duplicate of the primary). The primary is very appropriate
for its tasks.
Another one to consider.
I have user Trilead VM Explorer with good results. The things I like is
there is no additional cost to do additional servers and it will do ESX,
ESXi and Hyper-V.

The cost is reasonable at $1,390

For home, I am lazy. So it 'slightly' violates my own rules. OK if you

Yeah... and I dismissed it based on the outright lies that make up the
ad copy:
Traditional data backup and data recovery solutions are expensive, slow
and complex.
