We see the same thing in many, many businesses. A server (or multiple servers) humming away in the corner of an office, or a stock closet. Your backups are being copied to a local drive, or maybe someone in your office is inserting a backup tape daily. Maybe you don’t know how your backups are configured? <GASP>The servers are loud, they take up precious space, generate heat, and require your IT resource to perform expensive onsite maintenance. Worst of all… you must replace the equipment every 3-5 years which can cost a small fortune.
It’s time to ask yourself some questions.
Would you be able to rebuild these servers in the event of a catastrophic event? Do you trust your data backups? How long would you be down?
If you had a hardware failure, how long would it take to get it repaired and back online?
Could you better utilize the space currently being taken up by the servers/peripherals? How would it positively impact your power and HVAC bills to get rid of them? (HINT – there are online calculators for that)
Would you rather focus on your business rather than tending to onsite servers all the time?
