At Granite Mountain, we provide True Business Continuity as a core component of our Backup & Disaster Recovery solution. Combine Microsoft Storage Server with our onsite Network Attached Storage (NAS) device and you have full server virtualization. This allows a server which has failed to be restored on the NAS as a virtual image giving you a standby server in less than hour. Since the total image of the server is being restored no configuration changes are needed as the virtual image has the same properties, IP address, NetBIOS name as the failed server and backups continue to happen even when running the virtual image. When new hardware/spares arrive, the virtual image can be shutdown and the latest backup image can be used to perform a bare metal install on the new hardware.
