SERVERS, OXFORD
Some companies still rely on specialist software that cannot be hosted in the Cloud. In these cases, investing in a dedicated on-site server in Oxford is often the best solution, helping the business maintain smooth, uninterrupted operations and ensuring all essential systems continue to run efficiently.
Benefits of a business server in Oxford
When a company grows and employs multiple staff members, effective file sharing soon becomes essential. While an internal network can allow documents to be exchanged, it often leads to unnecessary complications. Updates to Windows may reset sharing permissions, and files are only accessible when the host computer is switched on, even if that person is away.
Installing a business server in Oxford solves these challenges by keeping all files stored securely in one central location. It can also carry out automatic daily backups of every computer within the organisation, ensuring that if one system fails, your data stays safe and can be restored with ease.
There are two types of servers that you can choose from Cloud Servers and On Site Servers.
Cloud Servers
For many businesses, a cloud server is both a practical and cost-effective solution. There’s no need to invest in expensive hardware, and because everything is hosted online, files and databases can be accessed securely from any location.
A variety of cloud server options are available for professional use, and our team can help identify the one that best matches your organisation’s goals and existing IT systems.
Another advantage is the lack of maintenance costs. Since the physical infrastructure and software are not owned by your business, you only pay for the resources and services you actually use.
Cloud servers also provide a secure environment for storing business data. However, like any system, they must be configured correctly to prevent security risks. That’s why we recommend having a qualified IT specialist manage the setup and maintenance to ensure full protection at all times.

On Site Servers in Oxford
Although cloud servers are a popular choice for many organisations, there are times when they may not deliver the exact functionality your business requires. In such situations, an on-site server is often the better option.
An on-site server looks similar to a desktop computer but contains far more powerful components, allowing it to perform tasks much faster than a standard PC or laptop. It can also be configured with a variety of software to meet your organisation’s specific requirements.
Some industries depend on specialist software that cannot be hosted in the Cloud but still needs to be accessed by several users. Hosting this software on a dedicated server allows shared access and can even reduce licensing costs, as only one central licence may be required. Additionally, certain applications demand the higher processing power that only a dedicated server can provide.
Choosing and configuring the right server is a more complex process than setting up a new computer, so it’s important to plan carefully to ensure the system meets both current and future business needs.
If you are looking for an on site server for your business, please call us on 01327 300311 or complete our contact form. We will work with you to understand your business needs and recommend the best solution for you.
Maintaining your On Site Server
Like any computer, a server requires regular maintenance to keep it performing at its best. As it holds critical business data, it’s essential to monitor its performance closely and resolve any issues as soon as they appear.
At Keba Computer Services, we install Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) systems for servers in Oxford. This technology alerts us the moment a problem arises, allowing our team to investigate and act quickly. In many cases, we can detect and fix potential issues before they cause any disruption or are even noticed by our clients.
The benefit of a RMM is it reduces downtime and ensures that all data is backed up to the server. We also offer pay as you go repairs to your server.
