8 Reasons You Need A Server
 
1.   Create order from chaos. By centralizing data on a server, you can better manage business-critical information. Sharing files and other data across PCs becomes much easier, as does migrating data from one PC to another. Older PCs can get new life if their files and data are offloaded onto a server. Companies are buying servers and opting not to dump their old PCs and laptops.

2.   Protect your data by making backups easier. Users can centrally locate all of their data on the Server which can be backed up on a regular basis.

3.   Collaborate better as a business. Sharing data is easier with a server-based network. Some Network Operating Systems like Microsoft Windows 2003 include Windows SharePoint Services, which allows users to collaborate via the web. A server is a must when trying to run multi-user on-line applications such as Accounting, Distribution and Manufacturing applications.

4.   Accommodate a mobile work force. Servers enable authorized out-of-office workers to have remote access to your network, enabling data sharing among those who travel, telecommute or work in off-site locations. Through Remote Access, users can get access to server data via the Internet.

5.   Share high-speed broadband access. Provide high-speed Internet access across a network. If you are using three or more dial-up accounts, it's time to get a server and go broadband. The return on investment will come quickly in the form of higher productivity!
 
6.   Set up new computers, add users and deploy new applications more quickly and easily. Expect to grow? By managing your data from a central location, you can better coordinate the addition of new PCs, software licenses and software applications. You can also better manage firewalls and monitor threats to your data, and more easily deploy virus protection and intrusion detection.
 
7.   Get more processing power. A server can supercharge your network, storing large chunks of data, freeing up memory and enabling individual PCs to perform better. Small business today need that additional processing power to run Web services, manage Web sites, do e-mail newsletters, and use more sophisticated tools and applications.

 
8.   Look more professional — and connect better with your customers. Server software enables you to consolidate your e-mail accounts (AOL, Yahoo!, Hotmail, etc.) into a single, company-hosted e-mail account, enhancing your image to customers and partners. You could have several aliases from one root e-mail address. A server can make a your business appear as a large company. Get more bang for your buck and look more professional to those with whom you wish to do business.
