Business Server Solutions FAQs
Have questions about business servers, upgrades or virtualisation? Here are answers to common questions about choosing and maintaining reliable server infrastructure.
How do I know when my business server needs replacing?
Signs that a server may need upgrading or replacing include declining performance, frequent hardware problems, insufficient storage capacity and difficulty supporting newer software. Equipment that no longer receives appropriate manufacturer or software support may also present security and reliability concerns. Reviewing the server's condition, age and business requirements can help determine whether an upgrade or replacement is appropriate.
What is the difference between a physical server and a virtual server?
A physical server is a dedicated hardware system used to run business applications, store information or provide shared resources. A virtual server is a software- based environment that operates on suitable physical hardware. Virtualisation allows multiple independent server environments to share the resources of one physical system, potentially improving flexibility and hardware utilisation.
Can my business use both physical servers and cloud services?
Yes. Many organisations use hybrid infrastructure, combining on-premises servers with cloud-based services. This approach can allow businesses to retain applications or information that need to remain locally hosted while introducing cloud technology where it provides additional flexibility. Find out more about our cloud services and how they can complement existing server infrastructure.
How can I protect my business server and the information it stores?
Protecting business servers involves appropriate software updates, access controls, security measures and reliable backup arrangements. It's also important to consider how essential systems could be restored following equipment failure, data loss or another unexpected event. Our cybersecurity solutions and disaster recovery services can help businesses plan for these risks.
