      @scottalanmiller I was referring to his desire to build a backup / redundant / failover server, just in case of a fire, earthquake, tornado, flood, and/or other acts of God... and also only if it is reasonably done money wise.

      Yes, but it isn't a reasonable thing given the context for the business in any way. Nor does it protect against those things, that would be a DR site, not a second box.

        It's amazing where the prices for something like this is today. I built a similar setup just 20 months ago, but had a stupid HDD requirement to fullfil and each server was $50K, you're totally kicking my ass and it's only costing you $4k.

        Nice!

          Yeah well apparently the MSP is even kicking my butt at the price each server is $2000 (granted I have no idea what is inside of them)

              If the $2k doesn't include drives, who cares? that's what this whole thing is about.

                We could do it cheap if we didn't care about quality or the company at all. Getting the price down is easy.

                  Without local drives we could probably come in way lower.

                          They are a part of IT, and they quite often go of track or in the wrong direction.
