Server Solutions
A server that fits the office.
Tower or rack, in your building. Specified for the files and the application you actually run.
01
In the room
Power, ventilation, and a place that is not a corridor.
02
Disk and backup
Space for the files, and a second copy.
03
Handed over
Logins, a diagram, and who to call.
A server specified for the job it will do.
Tower or rack, in your building, sized for the files and the application you run. The room needs power and air. A corridor is not a server room.
You get disk for the data, a second copy somewhere else, a diagram, and the logins. Management after that is a separate, ongoing service.
What the job includes
- A specification for the application and the files, not a generic tower
- A place with power and ventilation, agreed before delivery
- Disk for the data, and a backup that is not on the same machine
- Installation of the operating system and the roles you need
- A diagram, the logins, and who to call
