Servers that are patched, monitored and replaced on your schedule
The office server often runs critical workloads with no one checking on it. Updates are missed, disks fill up, and its age becomes clear only when it fails.
What we configure, and what it prevents
| What we configure | What it prevents |
|---|---|
| Scheduled Windows Server patching | Known vulnerabilities on the machine that holds your files. |
| Active Directory accounts and permissions cleaned up | Former staff accounts that still work, and files open to everyone. |
| Virtualization (VMware) where it fits | One aging machine running everything, with no fallback. |
| Disk and hardware health monitoring | A full disk or failing drive stopping work without warning. |
| Replacement planning before vendor support ends | Emergency purchases when an old server fails. |
What’s included
- Server roles: file, print and application servers
- Directory services: Windows Server and Active Directory

- Linux: servers where an application requires one
- Operations: patching, health monitoring and backups
- Lifecycle: replacement planned before hardware leaves support
How it’s delivered
- We document each server: its role, its age and how it is backed up.
- We close urgent gaps first, such as missing updates or untested backups.
- We patch, monitor and back up your servers as part of ongoing support.
- We plan replacements ahead, so you set the timing instead of a failure.
Frequently asked questions
- Do we still need a server, or can everything move to the cloud?
- It depends on your software, your files and your internet connection. Some offices are better served in the cloud; others still need a local server. The free assessment reviews what you run and recommends the right fit.
- How old is too old for a server?
- When the manufacturer stops providing updates for the hardware or for Windows Server, it’s time to plan. We track those dates for you, so a replacement is planned, not urgent.
- Can you take over a server someone else set up?
- Yes. We start by documenting it, reviewing accounts and backups, and fixing anything urgent. You receive a written summary of what we found.
- Do you work with virtual servers?
- Yes. We have hands-on experience with VMware. Running several virtual servers on shared hardware can simplify backups and recovery.
