Servers are specialised computers, dedicated and designed to process multiple simultaneous requests and deliver data to networked computers or over the internet. The beating heart of businesses, Servers spend over 99% of their lifespans powered on and active. Relied on for a number of functions including file storage, user management and application hosting, these are the most important devices within the business.

STC supports servers as part of our managed service agreements and ad-hoc for clients outside of agreements on an hourly billing basis. With servers being active 24/7, it’s imperative that they are available as and when required by the users.

Supporting these devices for STC means supporting the users, software and devices networked to these devices. Ensuring that the software operates effectively is as important as the device powering on and the services being available.

Many businesses have been moving to “cloud hosted” or “offsite” server solutions for their business, with physical on-site servers being looked at by small businesses as unnecessary for their needs. This is a common fallacy as on-site servers can help more effectively manage users, accounts and data in one central location and end up saving money in the long term compared to most cloud solutions.

STC will support on-site and off-site solutions employed by the customer and embraces hybrid solutions, helping clients to benefit from the advantages of both options.
