Greetings on a cold day in Feb!

As the user base of our servers expands, I'm becoming more concerned about
redundancy.  I would be very happy to hear what others are doing to provide
a fall-back plan if their server goes down - i.e. a list of equipment /
resources dedicated to making sure all software will be continuously
distributed.  I would also like to hear of alternatives you have discovered
to providing 365/7/24 hour service on your own.  If you want to reply off
list, I'll be happy to compile & repost.

Many thanks,

Ruth Trometer

P.S.  I thought there was a discussion on this topic not too long ago, but
I couldn't find anything in the archives.  Does anyone have a reference?
