Hi Jacob,

Some companies split their operations into two facilities. by doing so each site can be a back up site for the other. A risk assesment would prove the losses in case of a dissaster and i am sure management then will understand the potential losses.

Hello Jacob,

: Maybe you could use the systems sitting in that site for Dev, pre-prod or test purpose.

: Or maybe split the productions systems in both sites for faster recovery.

: : It helps to know this when trying to get a hot site budget approved. Management doesn't want to hear that we are going to spend all this money on duplicating our datacenter to just have it "sitting there" until a disaster happens.
