As an aside.. I've been involved in doing the sums on DR-sites in the past and it quite often doesn't add up. So I'd recommend doing a cost-benefit analysis with the client.
You've also got to look at all the intermediate threats. For example, a DR site may be on the same network as the Prod site... Or the client site might be on a single network. So you can spend a lot of money eliminating a sole single point of failure when there are dozens of others around (network failures are much more common than a site getting obliterated).
- dabeeeenster 18y agoThe problem is that my client's client (we are a subcontractor in this instance) is demanding it. I've explained that, in real terms, they will get little benefit from the large capital expenditure, but it's become a contractual requirement. My current hosting provider are excellent, and we have a > 99.99% uptime with them on this application according to pingdom (and this includes scheduled downtime!) but you know how clients are sometimes!
