As businesses become more reliant on technology, servers have increasing importance to your IT infrastructure. But how do you store servers? What kind of space do they need?

Once upon a time, it was a common misconception to put servers and network equipment in closets or the smallest, out-of-the-way room in the middle.

If your business is closed for the weekend, how do you know if your critical hardware is running correctly? Or do you come in Monday morning to an unpleasant surprise?

Often, the solution to a hardware issue is to reboot the equipment. For example, when something as complex as a server or firewall goes down, an IT field technician is often needed to reboot and examine the machine.

If your office experiences a power outage, what happens to your mission-critical hardware like switches, firewalls, routers, and servers? Do they suddenly blink off and need time to reboot? What happens to your data when the power goes out?

If you’ve lost time or discovered corrupted data due to a power outage, you know that, sometimes, IT is not as simple as turning a device off and on again.

The global pandemic put a big emphasis on the need to run a business from anywhere. Enabling employees to work remotely requires cloud solutions. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone systems have also become critical.

VoIP offers a solution for quality, professional calls from any location.

When you partner with an IT provider, you also receive the benefit of on-site IT technician visits. But what do these visits accomplish, and how do they help your business?

There are five kinds of scheduled IT technician visits:

Site survey
Network administration
Break-fix visit
Post-migration training
Project visit

Each visit has a specific IT-related goal to help systems run more smoothly and effectively.

An unstable internet connection is problematic in today's technology-driven, connected world. Otherwise, you may find yourself unable to accomplish critical tasks and increasingly stressed.

Luckily, you can do some easy things at home to improve your home internet stability and download speeds through home internet optimization.

Internet connections are not one-way streets. Websites “talk” to your computer, sending and receiving information.

But is there any way to tell if the information source is dangerous? If it is, how do you stop it from sending malware or stealing your information?

Firewalls were invented to tackle these exact concerns.

Adding new hardware and software in your business to your office is more than just plugging it in or hitting a few keys to install it. There are several settings to consider, including security and system dependency. It can become overwhelming and time-consuming.

At some point, every business needs new computer hardware. With the ever-changing technological landscape, this involved task takes time and foresight. But how do you know what specifications are suitable for each of your users' specific needs in your organization? What programs should they be using to be the most productive and efficient?

What if I told you that there's a resource that wants to help you find the proper computer equipment without any added stress while saving you time? Someone who would not only find the right equipment but also properly deploy it? It's not a fantasy.
