How you know it’s time to buy a server?
- You need to centralize and organize your data (you can’t always find what you need when you need it).
- You need to share hardware such as printers and fax machines for two or more PCs (peer-to-peer networks mean lots of cords and wires to trip over).
- You need to simplify backups to keep your data more secure.
- You have employees who travel, frequently telecommute, or work off-site, and want to connect to a network.
- You could benefit from an intranet (your employees who travel and telecommute don’t always remember to tell you).
- You have high storage needs (and your loaded-down PCs wince and groan when you add more data).
- You’d like to run accounting software or other line-of-business applications on more than one PC.
- Your company’s growing and plans to add new computers and employees.
- You mean business: You want to look professional (and bigger than you are).
- Your PCs are old and you want to get rid of them. A server makes migration easier.
