Server Management

What is Server Management?

Server Management is comprised of the configuration of hardware, software management, server security and data backups for physical and virtual servers. With Server Management, a Managed Services Provider monitors and maintains company servers to ensure they are secure, run at optimal performance levels, and meet the organization’s needs.
