According to me, to make the assumption that a Small Biz doesnt require 24/7
uptime is wrong. A larger business may have the ability to better absorb a
certain amount of loss due to downtime. But a SMB who lives month to month
on a certain expected level of income may end up closing shop or losing
employees if they have a severe outage. For argument sake let us leave out
the "24/7" requirement. Ideally they would need 100% uptime for their hours
of operation. What happens from 1 am - 6 am really wouldnt matter if they
dont work those hours. But if an outage were to occur between 1-4 pm on a
Monday, then they should have a DR plan to recover asap.
That is really all I am getting at. Its been a long day.. Chow for now.
thanks!
P.S. I had a Compaq Server with redundant PS, NICs, Hard drives etc go down
on me because a CPU fan blew and for some reason the BIOS decided to shut
the system down. Even though I had another CPU in the system with a running
fan. The server was down for a whole day because Compaq had to overnight me
a fan. I would be interested to learn about a true redundant server system
in 1 chassis. I guess the other solution is to keep spare parts with you..
