Managed Server
A business requires a server to share resources or host its website, but may not
have the room for one or be able to meet server requirements. Servers require a
cool environment and a stable power supply to ensure they run smoothly and reduce
risk of losing data. Additionally servers also require firewalls and regular maintenance
and monitoring, so it could be quite costly for a business to run its own server.
Having a managed server in a data centre still enables you to take full advantage
of the benefits of having a server, such as it being able to store and provide data,
but also gives you the following additional benefits:
- Frees up space in your office
- Server has an ideal environment and therefore is more likely to operate effectively
and to its full capacity
- Server acquires regular maintenance with minimum disruption to you
- Server is protected against power surges and failures and is therefore more reliable
and secure
