The Story

It was a dark and stormy night. I felt this sense of gloom and doom hanging over me. Suddenly my server started to smoke and then it started to spin and then…… nothing….. And then the phone started to ring – ‘THE SERVER IS DOWN!!!!!’, they screamed. I called Iron Mountain and said help! Send me my tape…I could only hear faint breathing on the other end of the line. Was anyone there, did they hear my request, did they send the tape….. Two days passed, then three….. I started working on my resume…..

Story

It was a dark and stormy night. I felt prepared for anything. Suddenly a server started to smoke and then it started to spin and then…… nothing….. KASEYA alerted me immediately and I kicked off the AppAssure recovery. Before the first phone call came in I had the users back to work.
