Is it time for a Server

• You need to centralize and your data (you can't always find what you need when you need it).

• You need to share hardware such as printers, scanners and fax machines for two or more PCs (peer-to-peer networks means unreliable and difficult to maintain access).

• You need to simplify backups to keep your data more secure.

• You have employees who travel, frequently telecommute, or work off-site, and want to connect to a network.

• You could benefit from an intranet (your employees who travel and telecommute don't always remember to tell you).

• You have high storage needs (and your loaded-down PCs wince and groan when you add more data).

• You'd like to run accounting software or other line-of-business application on more than one PC

• Your company's growing and plans to add new computers and employees (congratulations!).

• You mean business: You want to look professional (and bigger than you are).

• Your PCs are old, old, old, and you want to get rid of them. A server makes migration easier.

• Your PCs are old, old, old, and you want to keep them. A server takes a load off the old PCs.
