Server Installations

Is your company missing important opportunities to increase revenue or better support your clients, maybe reduce the cost of operation? Does your company rely on old technology reducing productivity time?  You may gain from adding powerful, yet inexpensive, server technology.

If you have been relying on a network with no server at all, installing a server will simplify managing your network, provide faster file and application distribution, host a mail server, improve your data security, and provide a platform for collaborative tools increasing your company's productivity.

Knowing you need a server and acquiring the right one are two different things.  MKCS will help you understand what a server is, if you need a server and identify the right solution for your company.  MKCS specializes in the setup and administration of servers for small business.  Our technicians are there for our clients from pre-sales to post-sales support.  Contact MKCS today to help you get started.

What Is A Server

Servers are computers that are designed to manage data files, host a mail server, provide data protection, run software for file-sharing and web hosting, manage your network, remote access, and more.  Servers are more powerful than desktop computers while supporting more users and data, and running collaborative software allowing employees or external users to efficiently interact and collectively work on projects.

Does My Company Need A Server

A general guideline - If you need a computer system that processes, shares, and manages data, you need a server.  You should consider a server if your company has five or more employees working together on a network.  A server will provide a single location for file storage, sharing applications, print and email servers, data security software, a company intranet website, database, or CRM solution...  The question may not be if you need a server, but which is the right fit for your business.

Which Is The Right Server For My Company

Begin to identify your company goals and create a list of priorities to recognize how you plan to use the server.  This will help to answer what type of server you will need, the configuration, and how much to budget for cost. Below are some questions to help you choose the right server:
 

• How many employees do we have?

• How many printers and other office equipment do you have?

• How should we support our email management?

• How much data do I currently store?

• Would a serious data loss cripple your business?  Is this data backed up and will we need it?

• How much memory is needed?

• Will you add new software applications?

• Do you need remote access?

After you have addressed these questions, contact MKCS and we will help you find the appropriate solution.
