Jim,

As much as I would like to sell you a hot site, you are likely much too
small.  The redundancy vendors get way too much money for a firm like you.
If the prognosis is that you will be out for a day, that's why God invented
the beach.  Given that the next two days after are weekend, all the better.
If for some reason it's going to be longer, call me for alternatives, but
keep in mind that I am out next week (see the bottom URL).

As for being on Florida off of the coast, also keep in mind that when you
have a hurricane disaster, so to does everybody in your geographic area.

For 12 years this customer avoided any talk of a DR plan.
Last night an 18 wheeler took out 3 power poles at the front of the site,
and a city block is without power & phone. Barely missed actual building.
UPS has reached it's limit (about 4 hours) and the entire computer room is
out
(i5, 3-win servers, router, etc). This customer also in prime
hurricane location - SE Florida within 2 miles of coast.
What is startup & annual cost of hot site?
How many do building generators vs remote site (or both)?
This co heavily dependent on iSeries web site for order,
and web access from within office.
Whole company gross less than 5m/yr (18 employees).
