How To Know When You Need A Server

If you are a small business and wondering if your technology setup needs an upgrade, CMIT is here to help you decide if you are in need of a server.

Many of the indications that you need a server have to do with sharing. If your employees want to share files or calendars, a server can help make this easier. A server can also help employees who want to work remotely, so that data isn’t only stored in one place. Furthermore, if workers are only using their own hard drive, they can’t use an in-house server as a form of backup. A final issue that may arise from not having a server is that if an employee leaves and had been using their personal computer, all of that data is no longer accessible to the company.

If your business relies heavily on data, a server can be a safe investment to help your business run smoother. It may seem like a daunting commitment but CMIT can help you with both the purchasing and installation process. If you have questions about whether you should buy a server, contact CMIT of South Nassau at (516)208-4161 and we can help you decide!
