Why Managed Servers Are Lifesavers

Most of us do not realize what a vital part managed servers play in both personal and corporate life. Although we may have the ability to predict when certain natural catastrophes will occur, we have yet to figure out a way to stop them from happening. A common side effect from these disasters is a power outage that may stretch from a few seconds up to several days. In such an event, tons and tons of valuable information that may have been collected for years, could now be lost in cyberspace with no available tools for recovery. Unless(!) you and/or your business have your data backed up on either one or several managed servers, that is.

Think of it in terms of the recent, and quite sarcastic, GEICO commercial, where robots have replaced humans in the roles of modern daycare personnel. Insane, right? Who would leave their toddlers in the hands of a robot? Much like this commercial suggests, it would be insane to leave crucial information in the hands of uncontrolled machines. Therefore, our servers at Server Intellect are monitored by real humans who are on call 24/7, helping you with everything from data retention and email archiving, to server administration and security services.

So, next time an unexpected disastrous event comes knocking on your door, you can be sure that our managed servers will keep your information safely stored.

Cloud hosting offers email solutions that businesses need to stay connected in a cost-effective and reliable way. With Server Intellect managing everything behind the scenes, here are some of the ways your business can improve:

Consider Virtual Server Hosting To Save Your Business Money

How can cloud computing and managed servers help change your business model? Why would a company even want to get involved in this type of technology? Saving money seems to be possible in every realm of a business except IT, so why does cloud computing work so well?  What is all the fuss about? 

The reality is that virtual servers are slowly changing the way that companies approach their technology sector.  If you think about different information being stored in an imaginary or virtual cloud, different users outside of the cloud can reach in and draw that information out at any time. When it is not being used, it is kept within that cloud.

There are a number of benefits to using virtual server hosting in your business. To begin with, you can save a high percentage in IT costs per year.  How does that happen? To begin with, quite a few companies still purchase, run and maintain their own servers.  Not only are these servers very expensive, but they generally require IT staff to constantly monitor different issues and situations.  It is a costly and time-consuming process, especially since it takes IT staff away from tackling larger issues makes them spend time babysitting servers.

                The concept of adding cloud servers is gaining a strong following across the board and is especially a great idea for small to medium sized companies, especially those that are starting out.  Costs can be very high when gathering everything together to form a company, and cloud computing helps to alleviate the costs, while being a proven form of technology.
