Thankfully they were wowed by the facility and the capabilities of it. An idea we have been tossing around and discussing inside of our department is moving our production equipment to the DR site and bringing back the equipment we have there essentially reversing our DR plan.

I had a chance to talk with our CEO after they had returned from the DR site and was surprised to hear him tell me that he thinks it’s a great idea. With four remote offices and more issues every week with the local power grid I am also behind this idea.

So this month we get to start testing how well the applications will run over our 100mbit T-LAN from Cox and if we need to upgrade that once replication on our LeftHand modules start. We will also have to create a new replication schedule for all of the volume groups but overall I can wait for this to happen.
