State of Washington Server Hosting Service Future Directions?
CTS review of best practices: Standard Server Configurations Rated server rates Disaster Recovery Virtualization Over Subscription Tiered service offerings
What we have today Server hosting is customized No standard configurations No DR All Tailored cost model
Proposal idea Have a tiered server service (Bronze, Gold, Platinum) Move to a rated cost model for virtual servers Have the Bronze service located in eastern Washington For the Platinum service have the virtual “guest” replicated in the eastern Washington Bronze service location. In the event of a Disaster in Olympia, the Bronze Services can be brought down and the Platinum can be brought up in a matter of a couple of hours on the Hardware that was running the Bronze server services.
