Raid 1 = Drive Mirroring = Extends the time that IT staff respond due to complete drive failure(s) and system outage.

All failure modes should email the person actually responsible for fixing the system, and their immediate superior. Upon failure, and then at least once a day thereafter until the alarm is silenced.

You assume the email system works, or the email goes to a person that cares... I'm thinking about a compressor powered air-horn.
What I really need is a server cabinet with an attending robot to do the things I couldn't talk the people here through. Insert CD, Bang forehead against keyboard.. that kind of stuff.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
