Business Continuity
Protecting against power issues in a small office takes more than picking a UPS
Protect computers from power problems and you can extend their working life as well as avoiding downtime and possible data corruption. Losing data on a laptop or desktop is bad enough, but losing a server to a power surge or power cut can be much more severe, potentially even a threat to the business. Losing a mail server or a major database can lead to serious data corruption that will take you time, perhaps even days, to resolve. During that time, your customer’s business is being impacted, and even if they’ve ignored your advice they’re likely to blame you, so you need to explain the danger and convince them to protect their systems.read more

Quest Object Restore for Active Directory
Systems such as Exchange Server are closely entwined with Windows Active Directory, so customers can experience problems even if the mail server itself is still functioning correctly.
Recovering from mail server disasters
If your best client were to lose their mail server and the emails on it, how crippling would that be? Most businesses both large and small depend on email. If a company relies on email, you need to have the tools and techniques ready to solve their problems for the day disaster strikes.
Rebuilding a NAS appliance RAID array
Disks fail, and RAID arrays need rebuilding. Be prepared for the worst – and keep your clients’ data safe.
Setting rates: should you charge the same rates to all IT clients?
Probably the stickiest moment in agreeing a new piece of work is the one when the client asks, “What do you charge?” The natural temptation is to say, “As much as possible.” How do you really decide on a price?
