This week, as part of a free initial consultation, we reviewed a new customer’s disaster recovery plan.

I must say they had a good backup in place but what they hadn’t thought through was their potential downtime. Running MS Exchange emails on their own server, it could take them several days to recover in case of a server failure, theft or fire damage. During this time, no email AT ALL

I quickly migrated them to hosted Exchange with Netmatters which means they now have a virtual 100% uptime guarantee.

It is likely to be the same for you if you are a company with between 1 and 10 users using Microsoft Exchange (most likely as part of Microsoft Small Business Server) on your own network
