Server Disaster Recovery Implementation Proposal

INTRODUCTION
This proposal will detail the necessary equipment and network engineering man hours needed to facilitate the implementation of a Disaster Recovery Plan for Server Collocation.

NETWORK ADVISORS PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
• Secure Collocation Facility
• Reconfigure Disaster Recovery (DR) and LAN Servers
• Reconfigure Workstation Environment
• Test DR
• Configure Data Backup
• Troubleshoot and resolve any post installation issues
• Project Documentation

PROJECT REQUIREMENTS

• Eliminate any "unneeded" Exchange email and user data prior to migration to shorten migration time.

This proposal will provide for a full industry and manufacturer compliant installation, and is compartmented into detailed sections that will provide technical and budgetary information.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Network Advisors will provide a dedicated project manager to oversee all aspects of this project. The project manager will be involved from the planning phase through the completion of the project and keep detailed documentation for the maintenance of the completed product.

The project manager's primary responsibility is to ensure the quality and completeness of this installation, and that the project is completed within the defined time frame.

PART 1 - NEW SERVER IMPLEMENTATION
After careful review of the current Server infrastructure (See attached System Analysis) it has been determined that the existing Microsoft Exchange Email system is running low on physical hard drive available space (approximately 97% is used). This is largely in part to the size of the Exchange Information Store, at 40GB it is large, but expected in most law offices due to the need for keeping email file attachments. Though the server is low on hard drive space all other aspects of the server's hardware are adequate for its use as an Active Directory Domain Controller - which is one of its current roles.

Secondly, the existing AD domain controller / file server (NTServer1) is nearing its end of life. It is low on physical memory, hard drive space and outdated in terms of server architecture (Proliant 1st Generation).

To update the current situation and move forward with disaster recovery, Network Advisor s suggest the replacement of the existing NTServer1 with its current AD Peer - the Exchange Server and the addition of a more robust system housing Email, Doc Open and PC Law residing permanently in the collocation facility. This will address future growth of the Email system and other application and replace the outdated primary AD server.

Citrix would then be upgraded to the appropriate user license bracket and moved to the collocation for remote application presentation. Finally workstation connectivity would be established through Citrix and WAN IP routing.

Server Application Migration Overview
I. Existing Exchange2000 becomes NTSERVER1 with Active Directory Global Catalog services and LAN AD authentication. NTSERVER1 is removed from the Domain completely or used for non-critical application.
II. Exchange2000 is replaced with new Compaq Proliant Server with increased hard drive capacity, physical memory and system architecture.

New Server Implementation
I. New server is host for Exchange, Docs Open PC Law and Active Directory secondary authentication.

Server Physical Relocation
I. New server is moved along with Citrix to Collocation for Disaster Recovery access.
PART 2 - SECURE COLLOCATION FACILITY
To provide for maximum critical system uptime all primary server systems to include the Citrix remote access portion will be relocated to a full time position in the 1Vault collocation in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. All systems will be accessed from the Main Palm Beach office via a dedicated Point to Point 1.5 Mbps connection provided by Bellsouth. Remote and Disaster Recovery connectivity will be facilitated via a 2 Mbps Internet Connection and Cisco PIX Virtual Private Network (VPN) appliance.

• Multiple redundant internet service providers to include diverse OC-12 (622Mbps)
• Internet Service Providers include: Bellsouth, AT&T, UUNet, Bellsouth and Telcove
• Dedicated diesel generator power and fuel
• Conditioned Power provided to customer equipment
• Category 5 Hurricane Rated

Establish Collocation Footprint

For physical security purposes all XYZ equipment will be locked in a network enclosure. All servers, switches, firewalls and cabling will be self contained accessible by authorized individuals only. Network Advisors will oversee all aspects of the system setup to include:

• The order of all data connectivity circuits
• Hardware installation
• Rack configuration
• VPN system testing
• Server to Server communication

Establish Collocation Connectivity
There will be (2) types of remote connections available into the servers located at the collocation facility:
1. Internet:
a. This connection will be used for in Disaster Scenarios for Remote Users. Given that the Internet is a World Wide accessible network users will have the ability to connect from any location.
2. Point to Point:
This is a dedicated connection for users at the Palm Beach office to utilize for day to day functionality.
PART 3 - CONFIGURE WORKSTATION ENVIRONMENT
The LAN workstation environment will need to be reconfigured to support Exchange Email retrieval from the Collocated Server and application serving via Citrix

Exchange Client Redirection
I. Outlook should be configured in Cached mode to house a local copy of their email database for access in the event of a disaster and lessen the communication over the Point to Point Circuit.

Citrix Application Configuration
I. After reviewing with PC Law and Docs Open both applications will be configured to operate via Citrix Client. (See Attached Documentation)
PART 4 - DISASTER RECOVERY TESTING AND PROJECT DOCUMENTATION
Policies will be created for remote user's access in the event of a disaster and training shall be conducted to include:

1. Installation Notes
2. Configuration Details for all system components
3. Updated and or the creation of Network Diagrams
4. This information will be provided in both a paper binder and digital CDROM

CONDITIONS
1. Network Advisors will require timely access to all necessary work areas.
2. This project will be completed AFTER normal business hours.
3. All other trade's work needed for Network Advisors to complete this installation, will be completed, or in a state usable to Network Advisors.
4. Network Advisors did not figure into this proposal, a cost for a permit to perform this installation. However, if a permit is required by the building management or a county inspector, Network Advisors will invoice customer on the final invoice.
5. All work will be performed in strict compliance will all applicable state and local codes.
6. This proposal does not include any work or cost not specified within this document.

TIME AND BILLING
Client will be billed for this project based on the hours estimated to complete this Scope of Work. Actual hours worked will be documented and totaled at the projects completion.

Estimated Time for Project Completion:        xx
Hours Contracted RATE Per Hour:     $xxxx.00
