Whether your business has five PCs or five hundred PCs, they all need to communicate and share with each other. There are documents that need to be accessed by all and they all need to be able to print. Simply put, your business needs a server to make all this a reality. Problem is, you have no idea what type of server will work best for your company.

Before investing in a sever, take the time to consider how you would use it. Maybe you would just utilize a server for files and printer services. But maybe you would use it for other tasks such as email and entire databases. You see, there are several types of servers, some are dedicated to single functions which is perfect for some small businesses. Often, single function servers are the first type of server to be utilized by a new small business.

When on the market for a server, you can choose between tower and blade servers. Tower servers are nice as you can easily store them in a closet or under a desk. Blade servers need to be stored and managed on racks in temperature controlled rooms.

Data storage is another factor to take into consideration when looking at servers. If your business is rapidly growing, you may want to go with that server with more storage than you currently need. You don’t want to outgrow your server in a short period of time.
