What is Server Management?
Server management, simply put, is the continued process of monitoring and maintaining servers to minimize downtime, keep them secure and to meet both the current and future requirements of the organisation it supports.
Server management teams are responsible for the security of the server, as well as managing the hardware, software and backups. Businesses are dependent on server infrastructure for the majority of their IT functionality including data storage, website hosting, and emails. With this in mind, it is easy to see why cloud services have become increasingly popular as they offer enhanced scalability, affordability and security.
Outsourced Server Management
Businesses often choose to contract with an external server management company, as it is crucial that the right server monitoring tools are available. Our system administrators use management tools to access automated reports and receive alerts if there is an issue, allowing them to react quickly and resolve it before it becomes a wider problem. They are also well-versed in utilising software to streamline workflow and enhance performance.
Features of Server Management
Cloud servers require maintenance and optimisation to deliver great performance. Built, hosted and delivered via a cloud-computing platform online, cloud servers are accessed remotely by our engineers who focus on managing the server, keeping it secure and making any required improvements.
- Hardware Management
Reliable hardware is a must, we keep tabs on the performance of the CPU, RAM and Hard Drive, as well as the CPU temperature and operating environment. - Software Management
Software requires constant monitoring, with updates for existing software, firmware and operating systems being imperative. - Security
Outsourcing server management relieves the pressure of keeping on top of security. Firewalls, password policies, encryption and anti-virus software are just part of the package. - Backups
Taking regular backups is a key part of server management, preventing the loss of information from both physical and virtual servers.
