Server Installation & Configuration

Centralized File Management

Replace scattered local files and USB drives with a central file server — enabling controlled access, version history, and easy collaboration across the entire team.

Protected & Backed-Up Data

RAID storage configuration and automated backup jobs mean your business data is protected against hardware failures and can be restored quickly after any incident.

Centralized User & Policy Management

Active Directory and Group Policy let you manage all user accounts, passwords, access rights, and computer configurations from a single administrative console.

• Application server (ERP, accounting software)
• Database server (SQL Server, MySQL)
• Email server (Exchange, Mail-in-a-Box)

Files scattered across multiple PCs

A central file server with mapped network drives gives everyone consistent access to the latest version of every file.

No backup — data lost when PC fails

Centralized server with automated daily backups ensures business-critical data is never at risk from a single point of failure.

Managing passwords and access for 20+ employees

Active Directory provides centralized user management — add, modify, or remove access instantly from one place.

Business software only installed on one PC

Application servers make software accessible from any authorised workstation in the office or remotely.

Requirements

We assess user count, applications, storage needs, and budget to recommend the right server hardware and configuration.

Hardware Setup

Physical installation, RAID configuration, network cabling, and power connection — done in your server room or IT cabinet.

OS & Services

OS installation, domain setup, file shares, backup jobs, and monitoring configuration — tested thoroughly before handover.

Workstation Join

We join all your workstations to the domain, configure drives, printers, and applications — then train your admin.

Does my business really need a physical server, or is cloud enough?

It depends on your requirements. For most SMEs, a combination of a local NAS/file server with cloud backup is the most cost-effective approach. For businesses with specific applications or compliance requirements, a dedicated on-premise server may be necessary. We’ll advise honestly based on your needs.

What is RAID and do I need it?

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) mirrors or distributes data across multiple hard drives so that if one fails, your data is safe and the server keeps running. For any business server storing important data, RAID is strongly recommended.

Can you migrate data from our existing server to a new one?

Yes. We perform server migration with minimal downtime — transferring data, user accounts, shares, and configurations from the old server to the new one and verifying everything is working before decommissioning the old hardware.

What ongoing support is available for servers?

We offer IT AMC plans covering quarterly server health checks, OS patch management, backup verification, and priority support for server-related incidents.
