Benefits of a Server System - Server Networks - Bytestock
A server or server network makes sharing information between locations and colleagues incredibly easily. For teams working across multiple projects, being able to do so can have a huge positive impact on efficiency and productivity. Allowing everyone to work from the same up-to-date information.
Central servers are also a far more secure approach to storage. By having company data stored and accessible in one controlled place, you reduce the need to duplicate documents, send via email or store them on portable drives. It’s an essential safeguard if you have staff travelling or working remotely. After all, it’s super easy to lose a USB flash drive?
If you’re a company of any more than one, a server makes managing your business far easier
On-premises vs cloud servers
Remote or “cloud” servers have become increasingly popular. Providing all of the storage and accessibility advantages of on-site servers without the need to accommodate the actual hardware. Including the concerns of maintenance and running costs.
For smaller businesses, who perhaps don’t have dedicated IT resources among their employees, cloud servers can be the ideal option. Usually billed as a monthly subscription, setup is incredibly easy, as is upping storage space as requirements change. Up to a certain level of storage, cloud solutions present great value for money.
Growing and larger businesses often prefer the advantages of on-premises servers, nearly always having the dedicated IT manager/department necessary to maintain the company’s overall IT infrastructure.
As long as the space and resources are available, developing an on-premises network can eventually become the more effective solution in the long term, especially if the storage requirements are substantial.
On-premises servers also offer an additional level of security. Centrally retained and managed, without the potential access, control or breach concerns presented by a cloud solution (though, such instances are very rare).
Choosing Your Ideal Server System
Choosing the ideal server to suit your enterprise depends on space, performance, scalability, budget and initial specifications. Bytestock hold a wide range of Dell and HP Rack, Blade, and Tower server systems.
- Rack servers are ultimately geared towards providing as much power, storage and space-efficiently as possible. Being specifically intended for vertical scaling.
- Blade servers are innovative and space-saving and are most often used by tech-centric companies that handle vast amounts of data.
- Tower servers are where most smaller businesses should begin, as they don’t require a great deal of maintenance to keep running.
