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. MK
Computer Solutions will help you understand if
you need a server, what a server is, and
identify the right solution for your company.
We specialize in the setup and administration of
servers for small business. Our
technicians are there for our clients from
pre-sales to post-sales support. Call us
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,
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. Many small business
servers do not cost much more than a desktop
computer, but are far more equipped. 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, give MK Computer Solutions a
call and we will help you find the appropriate
solution.
