Breath new life into old servers and sleep better at night.

With Apple's recently released super-fast Intel Quad-Xeon Xserves now being rolled out into users networks, there is a surplus of older Xserves laying around looking for a purpose in life. Why not use PresSTORE synchronise to turn this redundant machine into a 'hot-spare' replacement should your 'live' server have a problem? Providing you can connect the necessary storage (and it doesn't have to be a RAID) you can keep a complete copy of your live server, updated every hour or so using PresSTORE SYNCHRONISE.

Yes, well maybe you're already backing up to tape, but have you considered how many hours/days it would take you to get all your data restored while your users are being paid to twiddle their thumbs?

Having an instantly available replica of your live server gives you some breathing space. You can be rebuilding your live server while your users work from the hot-spare. Once the live server has been revived, you can synchronise back to it and get all your data where it belongs. This is currently a very popular way of using PresSTORE, and if you've not already considered it, you probably should.
