Disaster Averted During Server Migration Through Use of Virtual Technology

Tags: microsoft virtual server 2005, iowa, server, applications

Overview Barker's Inc. sells and services John Deere equipment throughout the Southwestern Iowa region. It has two applications that provide core business processes: a parts application and a server running Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. It planned to improve server capacity and server throughput by realigning its servers and performing modest hardware upgrades. During the multi-stage migration process, the server running Exchange 2000 Server suffered a complete hardware failure - and server backups proved unrecoverable. Thanks to prior planning and server imaging using Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 and the Virtual Server Migration Toolkit, a previous image was brought online and service resumed the same day. The balance of the server upgrade and migration was performed with no further problems.
