Is your Server Being Managed, Maintained and Monitored?

One of the most essential aspects of any IT system is server management. Servers hold all of the company data in a central location, allowing any computer on the network to access the data. Many companies assume that the management of servers is simply a case of backing up data to the server on a regular basis and ensuring that all employees can access the server. The reality of the situation however is that servers need to be managed; maintained and monitored to run effectively.

Some of the steps to ensure total server management include the following:

Real-Time Server Monitoring - remotely monitors your servers to anticipate and/or respond to problems that can disrupt your business

CPU Utilisation – monitoring for abnormal patterns of CPU utilization by databases, applications, utilities or hardware

Physical Memory Utilization – allocating memory to improve performance

Storage Management – optimising storage usage on high-cost and low-cost storage media

Updates – installation of updates to ensure security and performance 

Preventive Maintenance – performance Review, Security Review, Backup Integrity Check, Monitoring Logs

Without effective server management, in particular a remote solution that offers a greater level of server protection, your data will not be 100% secure. A complete server plan allows you total peace of mind, with an integrated approach that strives to ensure healthy servers at all times. With a wide number of benefits ranging from improved network and systems performance to reduced IT costs, increase productivity and simplified management, effective server management is something that no company can afford to do without.
