Architecture, Engineering, and Construction firms are extremely dependent on having around the clock access to their network systems, applications and data as they are uniquely project and task oriented. Their efficiency and success often depends upon how well their project mangers and dedicated team members coordinate their respective tasks to execute timely results for their demanding clients.

In this environment, business continuity and high availability of data are essential. These businesses need to share and preserve information-sometimes very complicated information, plans, specifications, drawings, and daily project management data-easily and accurately. They must also adapt quickly and be able to access files and data, locally and from outside the office to coordinate innovative solutions when unexpected problems are encountered in the field if they are to remain competitive.

Many of these firms are deploying Microsoft Windows® Small Business Server (SBS) to meet these IT challenges. But if their SBS fails, the disruption and the revenue impact can be devastating because restoration of their OS, Applications and Data can take hours to days, and all too often valuable data will be lost regardless.
