Server Rentals
You might want to consider server rentals if you have short term needs for additional capacity or applications. Perhaps you are opening a new branch office or have a specific project where you don't want to own any hard assets at the end. These are all factors in considering whether to buy, lease, or rent a server.
Piloting an application
Server rentals are a great way to go if you're looking to pilot an application and you're not ready to make a commitment to acquiring the hardware. You can add or create a development environment and do your testing before you put your application into production. This will give you the technical flexibility to determine if the app is right for you.
Moving offices
If you're moving or relocating an office, consider renting a server as an interim or backup solution. When the moving van backs up on Friday afternoon and you need to be up and running on Monday morning, even the best technology planning can go awry when you run into a "gotcha". Putting a server in place at the new location to test out the infrastructure is a prudent way to make sure your network is functional before you move in.
Choose the right operating system
Your server can come pre-configured with Linux, Microsoft, or Novell as an operating system. This can help off load some of the more mundane tasks that your IT department would have to do, freeing them up to concentrate on the features and functions you need. Our technical staff can test out your configuration and document any issues before you install the server on your own network. Ask you ABC Tech Rentalsprofessional if server rentals make sense for you.
