Server Maintenance Support Plan
WHAT IS SERVER MAINTENANCE?
Servers work 24/7 as the heart of your computer network. Your server must be properly maintained to run smoothly, minimize downtime and avoid potential loss of data. Preventative maintenance can often minimize the effects of a minor potential server failure from turning into a severe disaster which can last days, affecting you and your user’s ability to login to your computers and have access to email, internet, files and programs. This critical piece of hardware requires regular maintenance and monitoring.
The monthly Server Maintenance Support Plan includes:
- Verify and test that server(s) backups are working
If the need arises, this will ensure that your latest files can be restored - Check disk usage and clean up old files
If If your server’s hard dives get full, your server can stop responding and cause data loss - Monitor RAID status (if applicable)
Your RAID hard drives will be monitored for failure and failed drives immediately replaced* avoiding a server crash - Keep your OS updated with latest security updates
Microsoft frequently releases security updates and patches. Staying on top of these updates is imperative to minimize the risk of security threats - Review system log files
Monitor log files for potential software and or hardware issues and stop a small problem from turning into a big one - Monitor server utilization
