Why should I get a Server?

Broadly speaking, a well designed and deployed server, can provide numerous business benefits.

Availability: a central place for all staff to store and access business data, and additionally providing access to remote workers at branch and site offices, or working at home or abroad.

Data Protection: allows you to easily create a back-up copy of all your information, as all data is stored in one central location. And it enables you to set up security measures to thwart internet and email threats through use of Enterprise Anti-virus/Anti-spyware/Anti-spam software systems.

Reliability: “Real” servers are characterized by their high level of engineering with special attention to component redundancy and monitoring systems. That is, if one component fails, another component either takes over or continues to function without any adverse affects. For example, redundant hard drives (RAID), redundant power and cooling systems, early warning and alert systems.

Scalability: “Real” servers are designed to provide upgrade paths in many directions. The ability to add large amounts of extra hard drives space, memory and users, provides company’s with the certainty that their investment will not be outgrown in the short-term.

Performance: With multiple processor capabilities, very large amounts of memory and extremely fast hard drives, true servers a can deliver outstanding performance, far superior to that of any “glorified” workstation.
