We’ve got all of our servers – and that includes production and test lab ones – virtualized on Hyper-V, and we’re using Restorify to replicate those VM images within our lab. This is good – our lab is getting more efficient and easier to manage.

Next step: move those images offsite. Indeed, Restorify is efficient enough to replicate those images to an offsite server – after all, that’s the whole point of the product.

But here’s the frustrating thing: for a small business, finding an offsite location to park those images is hard. Do we try to find an IT consulting firm to host it for us? It would be wiser, I think, to put that server in a co-location facility, but also more expensive. Worth it?
