HOW CAN A CENTRALLY LOCATED SERVER HELP YOUR BUSINESS?

SINGLE BACKUP LOCATION

With all of your employees’ data located in one place, it’s easier than ever to ensure you’ll never lose critical information. Your file server can be configured with any number of different backup options, allowing for off-site backup, removable backup, or simple data replication.

SIMPLIFIED SHARING

Simplify the use of your computers and networks by sharing documents with your co-workers from a central location! There is no need to run from computer to computer updating and sharing documents. Also, with a centrally located server, you can update each individual computer with just one update on the server using the appropriate server software.

HEIGHTENED SECURITY

Security can often be the most over-looked feature of technology. Many organizations inadvertently make all their confidential data available for all employees and even the entire Internet! Many file & printer sharing implementations open wide holes into your network.

With a centrally located server, you can control who has access to what on the server, and even individual workstations! With specific software/hardware implementations, you can ensure certain employees are restricted to their specific areas on the server. You can also specify what software and data they are allowed to access.

PRINTER SHARING

Instead of purchasing a printer for every workstation, why not purchase one high-quality printer that can be accessed by everyone in one department? With the use of a centrally located server, you can restrict who prints to these shared printers. You can also connect the printers to the server,or to a separate print server, and stop having to turn on a particular workstation for everyone to print.

CENTRAL ANTI-VIRUS MANAGEMENT

In today’s insecure world, everybody needs some security. Anti-Virus helps to protect your network from malicious Internet viruses, and also prevents your employees from inadvertently introducing a virus to the network, bringing you entire system to its knees. With Central Anti-Virus management, you can automate all the virus definitions updates on every workstation. The server checks each workstation every time it is logged in, and automatically updates if needed, without any intervention from the user! This solves the very common problem of outdated virus software on an isolated workstation accidentally allowing a virus to enter the network.

SOFTWARE AND PATCH DISTRIBUTION

Software is constantly in development, and new security or feature holes are being found everyday. A centrally located server can help you update software over the network. Instead of going to each workstation, we can add an instruction to the server to check for the correct version of specific software, and update any old copies on workstations.

SYNCHRONIZATION OF MOBILE DATA

Notebook computers are more commonplace than ever before. With the correct software, an employee’s data can be stored on a centralized server. That data can be synchronized with that employees notebook, automatically updating any changes the employee made while out of the office.
