Blog TOCA colleague here just assembled the attached document that nicely summarizes the issues involved, and shows how you can use Microsoft System Center and Microsoft Forefront to deal with:

  • Lost documents
  • Component or server failure
  • Server room outages
  • Site disasters

In particular, I enjoyed the section on virtualization.  Virtualization management enables a network administrator to restore large parts of the SharePoint infrastructure in case of a major failure.

The paper also deals with ensuring the continuity of on-going business using Microsoft Intelligent Application Gateway.

This is a great paper, easy to read, only four pages long.

The paper is attached.
