On-Premises Server Systems & Hardware

What is it?

In-office servers vary depending on your needs – from a designated PC right up to more powerful, complex, bespoke solutions. Generally, they act as the ‘brain' of your network, the place where all the data and information your organisation uses is stored. They can also be used to run very specific systems or processes within larger organisations, managing stock control or storing and managing customer accounts.

My business is specialised and has very specific requirements, so it makes sense to keep our servers in-house. VPW made the supply and installation process fast and easy, and the new server integrated with ease and works incredibly quickly – I've already seen a difference in productivity in-house.”

Who does it suit?

Generally, we recommend that customers consider virtual servers as well as an in-house option. However, in some cases you might prefer to buy hardware and keep your server in-house. For instance, you may simply need to upgrade existing hardware for better performance, or because you've outgrown the solution you started with. We can also mix hosted/virtual servers and in-house servers to suit your budget and individual requirements.

The servers we typically source, supply, install and maintain are suitable for all sorts of applications but are often used for:

Small Business Servers – running Microsoft Small Business Server or Windows Server Foundation Edition
File and Storage Servers (Data Storage) – often a better alternative to a NAS or SAN
Database Servers – Microsoft SQL Server or similar
Terminal or Citrix Servers
Email Servers – running Microsoft Exchange or similar
CRM Servers - running Sage, Act, and other CRM Tools
