8 Signs You Need to Upgrade Your
Server
By Christopher Elliott
Reprinted with permission
from
Microsoft Small Business Center
Your server hardware is a ticking time
bomb. Don't
be alarmed. It may never actually "blow up" — which is to say, melt
down and take lots of data with it. But one day, sooner or later, it
will become obsolete. And for your business, that's potentially an
explosive liability.
"The older your hardware is,
the more likely that a failure and loss of productivity will occur,"
warns Donald Hess, senior systems engineer at Entre Computer
Services, a systems integrator based in Rochester, N.Y. "In general,
a company can avoid big expenses by updating its servers every three
years. If it waits five years, then there's a big risk of being
compelled to upgrade many components simultaneously." Ouch.

for their bosses on the other side of town.
Simultaneously, you are witnessing the genius of
technology and, yet another distinct advantage of the
opposable thumb. It's the smartphone. Thanks to
blossoming consumer demand, inexorable technological
advancement, and the glorious power of competition,
smartphone sales are pointed skyward.

inboxes is a growing challenge. Small and mid-sized
businesses are relying on email more than ever, but many
are unequipped to deal with spam. IT administrators at
many SMBs are dealing with these seemingly competing
tasks: |

|
- Safeguard business
from email threats
- Preserve free flow
of vital email from legitimate sources
- Do this with as
little administration as possible
Options for SMBs
TThe changing threat landscape, coupled with the lack of IT staff
and funds can make stopping spam seem out of reach for many SMBs.
This is not the case, however, as there are three types of anti-spam
options available to SMBs today:
