Cloud Computing Systems are here to stay, and no one can deny that. However, it may still be some time before corporate-owned physical servers are a thing of the past.
Many legacy back-office systems are still being used by businesses that are not naturally cloud compatible or ‘cloud-native’. Physical server users and vendors will make a solid case that these systems just do the job better, in simpler and more cost-effective ways when they are located on-premise and on traditional server hardware.
At 777 Networks, we understand that, in many situations, an on-premise server is exactly what’s needed to get the job done. Our server management services include everything from helping you choose the right server, to installation and continued server support.
How to choose a Server
To ensure that your business has what it needs to deploy its systems effectively and keep its operations running smoothly day-to-day, it is essential to make the correct choice of Business Server and Server Support Partner.
Not all servers are the same. There are infinite combinations of components possible, and choosing the right one is essential to ensure that:
- Servers perform quickly without prohibitive cost
- Servers are highly available and resilient, able to withstand a degree of hardware failure without taking systems offline
- Have a Service Level Agreement (SLA) in place that ensures rapid recovery to 100% serviceable status should any part fail
Building the right server for your needs requires special skills that are honed with time and experience. We have installed hundreds of physical servers through the years, and continue to provide server support for many of them.
How 777 Networks Can Help
To configure the right system for your company, we’ll work with you to get an understanding of the server’s day-to-day role and the environment it will be used in. We take into account potential growth requirements and the level of resilience or fault tolerance required to keep your systems running in any circumstances.
Once the server has been installed on your premises, we’ll provide you with a rock-solid server support contract, delivered by the same engineers and techs that built the unit and backed by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) that guarantees availability, so you have complete peace of mind that your business can keep running, no matter what.
Finding the Right Server Support Plan for You
Server Support cover levels and Service Level Agreements are matched to your requirements, tailored to how critical your equipment is to your mission. Server Level Agreements can vary from Next Business Day Services to 24/7 service availability, with a 4 hour guaranteed response time, all parts and labour included.
