Growth is said to be inevitable and the same can be said for any business. Gone are the days where you can connect a number of computers together and share data from one to another.

While many of today's small business rely on a basic peer to peer network (no centralized server), this can be very cumbersome and inefficient. By implementing a client/server network (all clients connect to a main server) not only will this enable you to be more productive, but also allow for better security, and disaster recovery.

Some of the advantages of implementing a small business server include the following:

• Centralized Storage
  • Improves collaboration and sharing of information among all employees
  • Allows for efficient backups to be taken to ensure a minimal loss of data in the event of a hardware failure
• Messaging and Web Collaboration
  • E-mail messaging enables employees to stay connected while at the office, or on the road
  • Web collaboration enables employees to share and edit documents as well as calendars, notes, and tasks
• Enhanced Security
  • Security is increased by ensuring all users have strong passwords
  • Workstations and laptops are secured against unauthorized access
  • User level permissions enable different users the ability to access only what they need access to
