Server administration

When a server fails, it is not one employee who stops working but the entire company. Good server management is therefore about getting ahead of trouble: monitoring, a fixed update calendar and regular proof that backups can really be restored. All of it is done remotely, whether the server lives in a data centre, in Azure or in a cabinet at your office.

What the service covers

Windows Server and Linux are run on the same model: a documented takeover, monitoring and a written operations plan.

Talk it through with us

Roles and services

File and print servers, Active Directory, SQL Server, web servers and application servers for systems such as ERP.

Monitoring

CPU, memory, disk space, RAID health, certificate expiry and response times of the services your staff depend on.

Updates

Installed in agreed windows, always with a snapshot or another way back in case something misbehaves.

Backup

Configuration, daily job checks and periodic restores to a test environment, rather than trusting a green tick.

Root cause

After every outage we find out why it happened and make sure it does not happen again.

Physical faults

If a disk reports failure, we raise a warranty claim with the manufacturer and guide your contact person or the vendor technician through the swap.

How we deliver it

The takeover takes a few days. After that, work follows a fixed plan you can read for yourself.

Inventory

Which servers exist, what roles they hold, and the state of their updates, disks, licences and backups.

Triage

Urgent items first: disks close to full, missing security patches and backup jobs that have quietly failed for weeks.

Alerting

Thresholds and routes are configured so that every alert reaches an on-call engineer who can act on it.

Operations plan

Scheduled maintenance, patch windows and a monthly health report for each server.

Alerts sent to a shared mailbox are read by no one. On paper monitoring is in place and emails go out, yet the server actually went down overnight and the bookkeeper discovered it next morning. An alert has to reach a named person who has both the time and the authority to respond.

Common questions

Security fixes within a week of release, everything else monthly in an agreed window. Servers that have been left untouched for years are brought up to date in stages, always with a snapshot or a fresh backup taken first.

Yes, and it costs very little. Free space, availability and disk health can be tracked with standard tools. The gap between "we were warned yesterday" and "nothing worked this morning" is measured in hours of downtime.

Isolate it on the network and plan its replacement, for example with a virtual machine or a cloud service. Without patches the risk grows every month, and under NIS2 that is hard to justify. Until it can go, we restrict access to it and tighten monitoring.
