Finding Your First Managed Server

By Kevin Abrahams


Taking your first step to from an unmanaged to a managed server is a huge one since it entails a lot of added privileges for your organization. Extra protection is just one of those additional things that you will enjoy when having a managed dedicated server. Moreover, deeper management of your data may be the most important additional service that you can have through this

However, managing a server is not as easy as it sounds. Facing a lot of troubles on the server is just one of the biggest challenges of organizing. Hence, many companies came up with one good way in order to suffice clients' needs in relation to those issues. This is the use of a managed server or otherwise known as managed dedicated server.

This will help you avoid unnecessary troubleshooting and additional costs. First, you need to install single instance software, which is not yet present when using an unmanaged server. Examples are network deployment and load balancer. Next, you have to generate a node, as well as a cluster, which contains a device manager server.

You must also take note of the capabilities of your host in terms of its speed and uptime, security, and technical support that it can offer. In this case, it is best to consult experts on which company to choose. If you are using a dedicated server for the first time, you may not be familiar with the best companies available in the market.

Since you are dealing with important data, you have to ensure your utmost security. Lastly, do your routine monitoring of your system just to make sure that your server management is being done the way you want it to be. In this case, you are secured about your company's protection.
