Need "Hot Backup" Server Off-Site
I have a customer running a 2003 Standard Server with Exchange Server 2003. He has just made the request to a off-site server be a "hot backup" in case the main server crashes he can just bring the off-site one in and be back up and running.
Ideas?

also, with only 20 users, not cost effective at all
the only on-premise option you really have is to have hardware available and a good backup so you can restore your 2003 server in DR mode
better off looking at migrating to office 365

All-in-all I don't think it would be cost effective and you are right, 2003 Server and ES are at end-of-life but that is what he wants to stay with. Nothing simple and inexpensive to do what he wants?
