Taking Care Of Your Small Business Servers

Even the smallest businesses can require a hefty backbone of IT resources to keep them ticking over. While these days many small businesses are resorting to cloud storage techniques to store their data (and this is an effective way of backing up and scaling up your storage capacity) the truth is that a lot of you information, whether it’s employee details, customer contacts or stock inventories, is information that you need to have immediate access to constantly throughout the day – and you don’t want to be left at the mercy of your internet connection to reach it.

The Right Tools For The Job

Choosing a server for your business is a tricky decision. You need to buy a server that will not only handle your business’ current IT needs, but will also leave you room for the business to expand over time. At the same time, it’s not worth chucking a huge proportion of your company’s capital into buying the biggest server you can possibly afford if it’s going to be years before it reaches capacity and is taking up space and electricity to keep it running in the mean time.

However, as well as having the right server, you also need the right systems in place to maintain and if necessary fix it when things go wrong. While it’s possible to hire your own in house staff to do this, the fact is that at a small business every hire you make is a huge allocation of resources.

For this reason it can be a good idea outsource your small business server support to us at Server Consultancy. We're efficient and cost effective, and will likely be familiar with the equipment your business uses. If starting from scratch, feel free to ask us for advice on what server equipment your business should have.

A Day To Day Stress

The fact is that even minor server issues can play havoc with the day to day running of your business, and so your server support shouldn’t just be an emergency service you bring in when disaster strikes. You need experts with a proven track record who will inspect your servers regularly, ensuring they’re in peak condition and that even minor technical glitches are avoided. That's exactly what we provide at Server Consultancy.

Being a small business doesn’t mean you should cut back on essential features, it means that every penny you spend counts and you need to ensure you get the most out of it.
