Hot Spare

Any Guardian™ or Mail Server may be ordered with a "hot spare" which can take over if the main unit dies. The spare is constantly pulling over changed data from the main server. In the event of a catastrophic failure of the primary unit (a lightning strike, coffee spilled into the machine, etc.) the hot spare can be made active within minutes, instead of having to wait for a new machine to be installed, and then having to restore any backed-up data from tape.

Hot Spare Server: $100/month

Managed File Servers may also be configured with either hot spare or hot-failover support. There are many possible configurations to consider, so please contact us to discuss these options.
