Server Inventory
Reading Write Alaska runs 3 managed servers: one physical Dell host and two virtual machines hosted on it. RMM is treated as the source of truth for server presence and configuration; ScalePad supplements with purchase and warranty data.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DB5LCCS2 | Physical Host | Dell PowerEdge T440 | Windows Server 2016 Standard | 147.243.180.41 | Hyper-V host for virtual servers |

Warranty & Lifecycle
Physical Hosts

Virtual Machines
2
Both hosted on DB5LCCS2
OS Extended Support Ends
Jan 2027
Windows Server 2016
Key Findings
- The physical host, DB5LCCS2, has been outside manufacturer warranty since November 2021 — parts availability and repair turnaround are no longer guaranteed by Dell in the event of a hardware failure.
- Both virtual machines run on this single physical host, meaning a hardware failure would affect the file/application server and the Practice Perfect EMR server simultaneously.
- All three servers run Windows Server 2016 Standard, which reaches the end of Microsoft's extended support window in January 2027 — planning for an OS upgrade path should begin well ahead of that date.

Backup Coverage
| Appliance | Location | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Datto 1000 | Eagle River | On-site backup appliance |
Datto NAS (DTS-RWA-NAS1) |

Cloud and local backup services (DTS-BAK) are billed monthly alongside managed server support for both server workloads.

Recommendations
- Replace the physical host —
DB5LCCS2is past warranty and is a single point of failure for both virtual servers; budget for a replacement host as part of the upcoming agreement discussion. - Plan the Windows Server 2016 upgrade path — extended support ends January 2027; begin scoping an OS migration for all three servers well before that date.
- Confirm backup restore testing — verify recovery point/time objectives against the Datto appliances as part of the next business continuity review.
