If the firewall also fails, I would like to suggest you all that, Proxy Filed is an addon to protect your windows dedicated server, ain't it ?

Proxy shield is used when a user is experiencing huge DDOS attack. Hardware firewall is capable of handling around 100 MBPS to 1 GBPS DDOS attack. If the Quantity of DDOS exceeds 1 GBPS, then only a Proxy shield is recommended.

IMO we can also consider a back-up plan along with the dedicated server hosting package to secure your data in much better way. Though there are many backup plans which are available in the market which offers up to Gb of Free backup space with the dedicated server hosting packages, but if you have a large website, a user can place an order for any of the backup solutions as well.
