Server management services for modern businesses

As modern businesses grow they become increasingly dependent on the speed and smooth running of their IT systems and IT infrastructure. At Syntax we provide business-critical server management and IT support services to ensure that your organisation always functions at its best and retains its resilience. Whether you use IaaS, cloud or physical servers we can help with services to maintain high availability.

Server management tailored to your needs

In order to ensure that we manage your server infrastructure effectively, we use industry-leading monitoring technology from Datto. Service reporting is also provided through the web-based portal, which offers full details of all IT infrastructure management activities undertaken, showing the status, owner, completion time and performance against each tailored SLA.

Whether you use cloud services, physical servers or virtual servers, we can work with you to implement the right server management solution and make important tasks more efficient and reliable.

Virtual servers

In recent years, many organisations have opted to make the switch from their traditional physical server – often running on a single machine – to a virtual server that allows many servers to be hosted on a single piece of hardware. Virtual servers are considered to be more efficient than their traditional alternatives because they can facilitate more work without the need for lots of hardware.

It is worth noting, however, that virtual servers can require more skill and expertise to manage than physical servers.

Maintaining servers and reducing the risk of security breaches?

The primary goal of any server configuration is to make the storage of data as easy and reliable as possible, taking every precaution to avoid downtime and implement software updates in a timely manner. Managing servers is often about efficiency and speed – but it must also make security a priority, which is why we take every precaution to manage data carefully and provide comprehensive backup and recovery services.

From virtual servers to distant data centres, we can help you make the most of your server management through tailored support and infrastructure management. We are on hand to provide server support to system administrators and the rest of your team, so you can enjoy peace of mind when it comes to the efficiency and security of your data storage and high availability.

Software management in safe hands

One of the most critical aspects of server management is understanding where the dependencies lie within the infrastructure and where software performance can be optimised. With the support of our expert team, we can help to identify any pinch points, vulnerabilities and outdated software, so that remedial work can be actioned before it becomes problematic.

This is particularly important with application management where regular updates and patches are required to ensure optimal performance and security.

Server administration and management

A managed service provider can support your business in numerous ways, through effective server administration and management that meets your specific business requirements. Server management software involves several different components. These include:

Software management: Ensuring software, firmware and all operating systems are in line with your requirements and are updated regularly to support your growth.

Hardware management: Monitoring your key hardware components to ensure productive server performance, including both CPUs and RAM.

Cyber security management: Implementing cyber security measures like firewalls, access control, antivirus software and data encryptions in order to support compliance and protect your business.

Backup servers management: Implementing cloud data storage options to back up your vital documentation and data, and ensure you have a recovery plan in place as part of your server management tool.
