The Textbook Things Gone Wrong in IT Thread

@scottalanmiller I was referring to his desire to build a backup / redundant / failover server, just in case of a fire, earthquake, tornado, flood, and/or other acts of God... and also only if it is reasonably done money wise.
But as he said... It is a want, and he'd rather have that money put on his paycheck... to this, I would agree.
But like you'v said in other threads... It might be worth doing a cost analysis to figure out whether or not it would be better for them to be down for a day, or have another server to just fail over to in the event of a dead server.

Yes, but it isn't a reasonable thing given the context for the business in any way. Nor does it protect against those things, that would be a DR site, not a second box.

It's amazing where the prices for something like this is today. I built a similar setup just 20 months ago, but had a stupid HDD requirement to fullfil and each server was $50K, you're totally kicking my ass and it's only costing you $4k.
Nice!
-
Yeah well apparently the MSP is even kicking my butt at the price each server is $2000 (granted I have no idea what is inside of them)
-
Oh I know what it doesn't include the cost of the SAN...
haha there's the other $20,000
-
If the $2k doesn't include drives, who cares? that's what this whole thing is about.

We could do it cheap if we didn't care about quality or the company at all. Getting the price down is easy.
-
Without local drives we could probably come in way lower.

Yeah I know....
Pennywise pound foolish..

Tech forum topics is another one to add to the list.

Tech forum topics?
They are a part of IT, and they quite often go of track or in the wrong direction.
