The most significant single component in a networks solution is the implementation of a central network server. The new server will primarily become a central repository for data storage. Additional functions can be assigned to the server to further enhance network operations. All-Tasks can provide a custom built server or an off-the-shelf brand name solution. Options are as follows:
we offer comprehensive preventative maintenance to actively manage the network infrastructure. Secondly we work with our client to implement procedures and put in place tools that allow us to rapidly recover in the event of a system failure.
Should a 'worst case scenario' occur, the procedures and associated tools will already be in place to get the system back up and running in predefinded time period. Common expectations are for a 4-hour or an 8-hour recovery window. Without forward planning it could take 15-30 hours to rebuild a downed server.
There are many methods of implementing system imaging technology. The simplest version is an off-line image. Once the server is working in a satisfactory state, we take the server offline. While the server is shutdown, we take a complete copy of the working system and store it on another hard drive.
Once the image is complete the backup drive is removed from the working system. The whole procedure should take under an hour and will enable us to have 15+ hours work in the event of a system corruption. The cost to the client is minimal, the hardware is one additional hard drive. The downside of off-line imaging is that it is a manual process and the image needs to be regularly updated manually, which involves taking the server off-line. Ideally the image should be updated every 3 to 6 months, or anytime significant changes are made to the configuration.
As a further benefit, the drive also becomes a hot-spare. Should one of the live drives fail, we have a spare on hand to replace it with
