Our partners purchasing Server services are offered a wide array of storage opportunities that allow DISA to provide the level of service required to meet maximum acceptable data loss for each application.
Rate-based server storage pricing is based on the gigabyte (GB) of storage allocated per month and the level of service requested by the partner for data recovery. The basic service storage capacity of LA is the standard service for production servers and all other services, including backup, are cumulative.
The table below shows the options available for local recovery.

NOTE: Local recovery will not satisfy the Continuity of Operations (COOP)/Service Continuity requirements detailed in DOD Instruction 8500.2, which mandates a remote recovery strategy at a predetermined location. Operational recovery options will not, by themselves, satisfy the stated requirements for continuity. If COOP is provided within the solution, additional local recovery options are not recommended due to cost.
NOTE: DISA recommends all database replication occur with host-based replication.
