What is the best way to do Email DR?

So you are wondering what the best way to handle your Email Disaster Recovery and have looked at some options, but don’t know what to do? This post is for you.

OUTSOURCING

Outsourcing Email Disaster Recovery. That is a solution that solves more than just the one you originally started out looking for. Imagine this scenario…You hit the open market looking for the latest and greatest Exchange appliance/software/peripheral/service that will help you be prepared in a disaster. What you end up bringing back to your organization actually eliminates all need for disaster recovery on your end, improves your email service/features, saves you money, prevents future headaches, and allows all of your IT staff to work on actual business processes not the updating of finicky Windows Servers.

What is this magical solution to all of your email problems? Hosted Microsoft Exchange is what makes all of these things a reality. With regard to how we originally started this conversation, outsourcing email disaster recovery, going hosted and the cloud have disaster recovery built in by definition. Now OGO has to maintain a DR plan in the event that something happens to either one of our data centers’ redundant power, cooling, internet connections, or physical facility. That DR plan is very different from yours. Where ever you are, whether vulnerable to floods, storms, snow, etc, all you will need to continue receiving your email once it is outsourced is an internet connection.

This is the best part. When you have outsourced your email, including outsourcing Email Disaster Recovery, your DR plan to recover email service in the event of a disaster boils down to describing how you are going to get internet! Nearest hoteL? Starbucks? Local Library? Its amazing. Think about it.
