Question 1

When should a small business replace its server?

Accepted Answer

Server replacement is based on hardware and software needs. Often, servers last 10 years and get replaced for old age compatibility reasons. Substandard hardware averages 5 years.

Question 2

What is the difference between an on-premises server and cloud storage?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have internet at the office, you can send everyone home. With a local on-premises server, everyone can keep working on documents and local databases.

Question 3

How long does it take to set up a new server for a small business?

Accepted Answer

A proper setup takes about 15 hours for a true Server Operating System. Different needs require different hours to configure.

Question 4

Can I migrate my old server data to a new system without downtime?

Accepted Answer

Unless your business runs 24/7, we can typically accomplish this with no downtime. With a 24/7 business, there may be ways to reduce that downtime to minutes.

Question 5

How much does a small business server setup cost in Westchester?

Accepted Answer

That is entirely up to the needs of the client. Some servers run $1,500 while others have run $10,000. Since we only bill for labor and do not mark up hardware, you won't find a better price for the same hardware.
