SERVERS, ABINGDON
Many businesses rely on specialist software that does not operate in the Cloud. In these cases, the company will usually need to invest in a dedicated server to keep everything running smoothly.
Benefits of a business server in Abingdon
When a company employs multiple staff, it is almost certain that files will need to be shared between them. While it is possible to use an internal network to exchange documents, this can often lead to complications. Windows updates may reset sharing settings, and files are only available if the host computer is switched on, even when that employee is out of the office.
Installing a business server in Abingdon solves these problems by centralising all your documents in one secure location. It can also carry out daily backups of every computer in the business, so if one PC fails, your files remain safe and accessible.
There are two types of servers that you can choose from Cloud Servers and On Site Servers.
Cloud Servers
For many companies, a cloud server offers the most practical and economical solution. There is no need to purchase expensive hardware, and because everything is hosted online, your files and databases can be accessed securely from any location.
There are several types of cloud servers designed for business use, and we can guide you in selecting the option that best matches your organisation’s needs and IT setup.
Another advantage is the lack of maintenance costs. Since you do not own the physical equipment or software, you only pay for the resources and services you actually use.
Cloud servers also provide a highly secure environment for storing business data. However, like any system, if they are not configured correctly, vulnerabilities can occur. For this reason, we always recommend that an IT professional handles the setup to ensure maximum protection.

On Site Servers in Abingdon
While cloud servers are often the first choice for many organisations, there are situations where they may not provide the exact functionality your business requires. In these cases, an on-site server can be the more suitable option.
Physically, an on-site server resembles a desktop computer, but it is equipped with a much more powerful processor, allowing it to operate at higher speeds than a standard PC or laptop. In addition, a range of software options can be installed to suit specific business needs.
Certain industries rely on specialist software that cannot be hosted in the cloud but must still be accessed by multiple users. Installing such software on a server enables shared access, often reducing licensing costs since only one central licence is needed. Some applications may also demand the processing power of a dedicated server to run efficiently.
Unlike setting up a new computer or laptop, selecting and configuring the right server for your business is more complex and requires careful planning to ensure it meets both current and future requirements.
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
Just as with any computer, a server needs regular care and attention to ensure it continues to run properly. Since a business server stores critical company data, it is vital to keep track of its performance and deal with any problems at the earliest opportunity.
At Keba Computer Services, we provide installation of a Remote Monitoring and Management System (RMM) for servers in Abingdon. This system alerts us immediately if any issues arise, allowing us to investigate and take action quickly. In many cases, we are able to identify and address faults before our clients even notice there is a problem.
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.
