A combination hardware/software answer to eliminating network downtime, the PowerSwitch (from $1995) controls the switching between two servers and an external drive containing all production files. The dual-server design enables the backup server--which can be a workstation, an additional server, or a monitoring station--to be an active device on your network. The unit, from Applied Concepts (Wilsonville, OR), is controlled by the Alert Manager in IBM's NetFinity software.
