Are you looking for where you can save some of the money you have to help your business? Would you consider improving the main servers running your business? A new server, better spam and virus filtering firewall, gigabit high speed switches, network monitoring tools are a few productive improvements.
If your server is 3-5 years old and out of warranty it is time to migrate to a new server. Why?
When you pick the time to upgrade the server your business will avoid the major disruption of a server crash and data recovery. The best practice is to upgrade while everything is still working.
Enjoy the benefits of new server capabilities.
Some business owners have said things are fine believing this saves money but it does not. The cost of migrating after a server crash is four times as much because of disaster recovery also required to get your business data, quickbooks, databases and files from backups. Losing business and employees not being able to work simply compounds the cost of doing nothing.
A new server does a business good and technology purchases have some of the highest returns of investment! A good checkup on your server is advised.

Managed Services seemed like the Holy Grail for distributors and IT service companies as everyone wanted to add managed services to their profit picture, so why is revenue falling? Offering and selling managed services sounds like a great thing and managing your network is important.
If you are a network service provider managing networks for others then you are familiar with the companies barking the most about their services. N-Able, Level Platforms, Silverback Technologies and Kaseya are the most prominent companies in the news. The current but shifting methodology is to place a small computer appliance or software agents at the client site where it talks to the local network and “phones home” the information to the IT company that sold it to them. The appliance or service provides monitoring and reporting for the local network priced by device. This is billed monthly and generates a recurring revenue for the IT company.
Revenue stream thinking is wonderful and if you can get your customer to pay you monthly for the service so your job as an IT company is easier that’s all the better but it’s not really making the clients business better. The truth about 95% of the networks installed is the monitoring and reporting is already in place on the network servers. If you run Linux or Microsoft Windows 2003 server, standard, small business edition(SBS) or enterprise the tools are already there with continous server monitoring, alerting email etc… Management reports are very useful and the managed service vendors customize them based on personal tastes.
It is no surprise then that the prices for the IT companies to get into the game has plummeted. Silverback just reduced the cost of it’s appliance based MSP product offering from $76,000 to $2,999. This should tell investors and others just how much fluff is involved here. Perhaps this entry fee should fall down to $299. Other MSP have also had huge drops as savvy business see through the smoke and slick presentations. The cost is spread out among clients and is designed to make the IT company have a single “console” to view the status of it’s client base. That’s a one way benefit to the IT company. These MSP tools help the IT company a lot more than they help the client.
