Default What is Server Management?

Server Management is the management of servers and critical applications (HTTP, DNS, SMTP & POP, FTP and Database) that runs on it, to ensure maximum up-time.
What do we get out of server management?
Proper and regular server management service will guarantee that your servers are secure and stable throughout their lifespan on the net. A server management company will work on your server's OS and Critical applications like Web server, FTP server, Email Server, DNS server and Database server to ensure that these core applications are in accord with the latest patches, to ensure that the servers stay hack free and offers maximum up-time.
With server management service in place, you can expect utmost up-time for your servers and the applications running on it. So the key word here is "Max Up-time".
Ingredients of Server management
Server management includes services like
  • Proactive Maintenance which includes Security audits and its implementation
  • Reactive Maintenance which includes fixing of issues that chance upon while the server is live on the net
You can opt for either proactive or reactive or both. I would say, if you have a greater tolerance for downtime then reactive option may be suitable but if you do not have any tolerance for down time then the best way is to pick both, i.e. an approach where both proactive and reactive services are included, which is the Server Management Service.
Proactive Maintenance
Proactive Maintenance is maintenance program which aims to ensure that the server bugs/vulnerabilities are identified and rectified before a hacker/cracker finds it. Here the main focus will be on thorough or long-term fixes to the recurring or anticipated problems. In short, proactive approach is about predicting what could happen and its remedy. Proactive maintenance is done through regular server audits which will be achieved by focusing on server health and its performance.
Some of the common services included in this domain (Proactive Maintenance) are:
24/7 Server Monitoring and management
