Why Your Business Needs A Server
Why would your business need it's own server? This article from Business Day (Nigeria): Why your business needs a server offers some logical reasons you may wish to consider if you don't yet use your own servers.
A server is simply a computer that provides services or resources to other computers - a computer that provides services, commands and centralised management to workstation computers, called "clients". A server is so vital to your business operations that non owning one means death to your operations.
You need your own servers in your business when your business has grown from just a lone PC to handle the accounting to several PC's used by different people for a variety of tasks. In the business setting these days, having your own server lets you protect your business from malignant viruses sent through email or downloaded online too. That alone may make them "worth it"!

Not all business servers are created equally. Name brand servers give your business the assurance you are operating top of the line equipment to keep your data - the life blood of your business - working on your behalf! You may pay more for a namebrand server, but in the end, the reliability of a Dell, HP, or Compaq server may be the best computing investment you'll make.
