Palindrome Consulting Minimizes Fort Lauderdale Law Firm’s Downtime During A Server Crash

The server is the backbone of an IT environment. While many businesses today have opted to outsource their server needs via the cloud, hosting your infrastructure onsite is still a requirement for many organizations.

That’s why servers need to be taken care of. Careful maintenance, management of updates, and tracking of its lifecycle are critical for an organization’s uptime. Nonetheless, you always run the risk that something can go wrong.

When something goes wrong with your server, you need to be able to call someone for fast and effective help. When this Fort Lauderdale law firm recently encountered trouble with their onsite server, they knew they could rely on Palindrome Consulting.

When Their Server Crashed, This Fort Lauderdale Firm Called Palindrome Consulting

This firm got in touch with us because they needed our help right away. The motherboard on their on-premises host server had failed, and they needed someone to figure out what was wrong.

A Palindrome engineer went on-site to assess the situation directly. In their assessment of the hardware failure, they determined that Dell would need to handle the fix. We opened a ticket with Dell on the firm’s behalf to ensure the process would begin as quickly as possible.

At the earliest, Dell would be able to fix the problem the next day. In the meantime, however, this firm needed to get back to work.

How Did Palindrome Consulting Limited This Fort Lauderdale Firm’s Downtime?

In order to help this firm get back to work while they waited on support from Dell, we began restoring their data access using a local backup and disaster recovery (BDR) appliance that we had previously installed.

We booted up a recent backup of their host server on the appliance and brought all five servers back online. This allowed their staff to get back to work for the remainder of that business day and the next day, even while Dell resolved the server issue.

After Dell had fixed their server the next morning, we continued to run their systems off the BDR appliance. Once the business day had ended, we then moved all their data to the newly fixed server without interrupting their processes.
