The words "server" and "network" used to conjure images of big computer rooms tucked inside the bowels of corporations, and managed by tech specialists in windowless offices.
Thankfully, times have changed. Today, server-based networks can be found in some 20% of the U.S. small businesses with more than one PC, a percentage that continues to grow, analysts say. What's more, servers and networks have even moved down into the small office/home office (SOHO) arena, as users — even those with only a few PCs — see the efficiencies and better productivity of a shared network, analysts say.
6 Reasons Why You Need A Server:
- You can create order from chaos. By centralizing data on a server, you can better manage business-critical information. Sharing files and other data across PCs becomes much easier, as does migrating data from one PC to another. As older PCs can get new life if their files and data are off-loaded onto a server.
- You can protect your data by making backups easier. Having a server simplifies backups and the restoration of critical data.
- You can collaborate better as a business. Data sharing is easier with a server-based network. A server also is a must if you want to run line-of-business applications.
- You can accommodate a mobile work force. Servers enable authorized out-of-office workers to have remote access to your network, enabling data sharing among those who travel, telecommute or work in off-site locations.
- You can set up new computers, add users and deploy new applications more quickly and easily. Expect to grow? By managing your data from a central location, you can better coordinate the addition of new PCs, software licenses and software applications.
- You can get more processing power. A server can supercharge your network, storing large chunks of data, freeing up memory and enabling individual PCs to perform better. Small business today need that additional processing power to run Web services, manage Web sites, do e-mail newsletters, and use more sophisticated tools and applications.
How You Know It's Time To Buy A Server:
- You need to centralize and organize your data (you can't always find what you need when you need it).
- You need to share hardware such as printers and fax machines for two or more PCs (peer-to-peer networks mean lots of cords and wires to trip over).
- You need to simplify backups to keep your data more secure.
- You have employees who travel, frequently telecommute, or work off-site, and want to connect to a network.
- You have high storage needs (and your loaded-down PCs wince and groan when you add more data).
- You'd like to run accounting software or other line-of-business application on more than one PC.
- Your company's growing and plans to add new computers and employees (congrats!).
- You mean business: You want to look professional (and bigger than you are).
- Your PCs are old, old, old, and you want to get rid of them. A server makes migration easier.
- Your PCs are old, old, old, and you want to keep them. A server takes a load off the PCs.
