Server & Storage

It depends on what you run. For shared file storage and automatic backups on a handful of machines, a NAS is the simpler, cheaper answer. For 10 or more computers with per-employee logins and file permissions in your control, or for hosting Tally and ERP for everyone, a Windows domain server fits better. We tell you which one suits you at the survey and recommend the box your work needs.

Two reasons. A second drive in the same machine, or a RAID mirror, goes down with the first. If ransomware hits or a file is deleted, both copies vanish at the same moment. And a copy you have never restored is only a hope. We set up backups that run on their own, then prove them by restoring the data in front of you, so you know it works before you need it.

A power cut while data is being written is one of the most common ways Tally and server data gets corrupted. A server or NAS should sit behind a UPS that gives it time to shut down cleanly. We size the UPS and include it in the survey and quote, as part of the job from the start.

Set up properly, you keep working. We configure the disks so the server keeps running on the remaining disk when one fails, and you replace the failed disk without downtime. That covers a disk failure. It stays separate from the backup, which is what protects you against deletion, ransomware and theft. You need both, and we set up both.

For some things, yes. Email and a website often work better in the cloud. For large Tally data, CAD files and CCTV archives that everyone opens all day, a slow upload link is painful and the monthly cost adds up. Many of our clients run both: a local server for daily work, plus an off-site or cloud copy as the backup. We recommend what fits your work.

Yes, and it is common. We audit exactly what is running, check whether the backups actually work, document the whole setup in plain language, and bring it under AMC so one person is responsible for it. You get the admin logins and the documentation, so the setup is yours.

They are yours from day one. We hand over the admin logins and written documentation of how everything is set up. If you move to someone else later, the next person has everything they need. We earn your custom with good service, and you stay free to leave.
