Increase your efficiency and boost your security with servers set up by Rainier Tech. Servers are essential to any business network because they store, manage and process around the clock, every day of the year. While some businesses opt to rely on desktop PCs for server-like tasks, servers use specialized hardware and software that boost your business’ efficiency and security.
Many servers use dual processors, redundant hard drives, redundant power supplies and hot-swappable components to more efficiently manage your business data.
There are many benefits to using servers in your business, including:
- Security
Servers prevent unauthorized individuals from accessing sensitive data. Different employees and different departments can be given different permissions to protect sensitive information about customers or the company.
- Efficiency
Files are managed from one central location instead of independently on every workstation. In addition to saving time and effort, this also protects your files from accidental losses. Even if an entire workstation fails, the files are protected and accessible from other workstations.
- Reliability
Unlike PCs, servers are built with the intention of running at all times. Even when the hardware fails, redundant systems exist to ensure that your business continues uninterrupted. For example, many servers have two power supplies and multiple hard drives to ensure that the files are always protected and the server is always operational.
- Shared resources
A network server enables all the workstations in the office to share important resources, such as faxes, printers, CD drives and data storage.
- Antivirus protection
Viruses, spyware and spam can be very dangerous for your business. In large offices, keeping antivirus software updated and maintained on each workstation is time-consuming and inefficient. Using a server removes the need to update each computer individually as all antivirus protection is managed through the server.
- Backup management
Storing all of the data in one location means that it’s easy to backup and protect your business’ information. Should a natural disaster or technological disaster strike, your business will be protected. Rainier Tech will ensure that your business has a backup plan in case an emergency should strike. All of these benefits improve the efficiency and security of your business.
