Business ServersThe Heart of Your Business Information
ompany server? What is it? The advantages of a centralized server in the company are many. We see the principal. First of all, makes it possible to define a safe place to have collected all the documents and vital data for the company. This is a great comfort in that, at the same time, allows sharing of data among the staff (with appropriate permissions) and facilitates the backup, which is indispensable in case of failure. In fact, it is much more difficult to manage and organize the backup of each PC rather than a single. The sharing is a strong advantage. Not only allows you to make the documents available to anyone, but also allows access to them from outside the office. For example, if an employee is at home or by a client and need a document from a worker, can connect remotely to the corporate server and review the document as if it were in the company.
Another advantage is the sharing of applications. Up to now we have been accustomed to use the applications to run from your personal PC. This involves a tedious procedure of installation and maintenance in every corporate PC. Today's applications typically run on a central server, where users can connect via a web browser. Instead of investing in many PCs, you can focus on one individual: the server.
Third point: the realization of the corporate domain. Through it you can control access and operation of all network users (staff), with their passwords, to make all feasible security measures on the data you need.
Additionally, the server can act as a mail server. With this solution, rather than managing the e-mail via the service offered by the service provider, you can manage it at home so he can get better services and more extensive, in addition to the advantage of being able to store mail as documents. From outside the office, each user can see the mailbox through a simple Internet Point (via browser).
We could go on for much longer: firewall, IP address assignment, antivirus company, proxy servers and other services.
We like to point out that the server can also be a VoIP PBX, without necessarily buying other dedicated hardware.
