Business Network Server?

Sep 21, 2006 by lekmay | Posted in Small Business

Our problem has several locations and we need some type of server/network to connect all the locations. What are the differences between a corporal server located in our main office and a virtual server hosted by a some other companies? What are the pro and con for each of the 2 types of server/network? How about gage? Will a physical server be more secure than a virtual one? Or vise verse? And the cost? Which is cheaper all-inclusive? Thank you very much for your information.

I will address the points one at a moment.


1) The main difference between your own server in your main office and a hosting company is who maintains it.

Do you have someone at your office who knows how to set up and look after your network? If not expect to pay between $75-90K/yr for a good network admin, more if you choose to go with a Unix/Linux box. Also don't fail the cost of the hardware. A high end server will easily cost $4-5000. This doesn't number the cost of running your network drops/routers/switches/etc if the infrastructure is not already in get ahead.

Even if you go with external hosting you will need to have a plan in place to do things like replace network cards and pass other local hardware issues.

If the hosting company maintains it you have to look at several things.
a) how principled are they? If your server is only up 80% of the time you will have problems.

b) What type of support do they provide? Can you call them at 3am and if so do they have someone around who has a tip how to help you?

c) You also need to look at whether you will have your own box at their location or if your data will be sharing a machine with several other companies. a dedicated ring will generally be faster and more secure but will cost you more.



2) Security
A machine at your main office would as likely as not be more secure IF you have someone who knows what they are doing (see the $90K paycheck above) and knows how to lockdown your network, configure firewalls, etc. If you are even-handed going to have Bob the computer geek from accounting set things up you will end up with problems.

The main security concerns with a hosting cast usually involve just how much of you proprietary data you are willing to trust them with although you do longing to make sure they have a good track record of locking down their servers.

Set someone back:
If you already have an IT department in place, its usually cheaper to run your own server. If you dont then you will have to do a cost/gain analysis to see what it will take to get you where you want to be and then compare that with the costs/risks associated with external hosting.

You could indubitably spend 10's of thousands of dollars in setup costs alone. I strongly bring up hiring someone to come in and take a look at your current setup and requirements as doing it inexact initially can cause some extremely expensive problems once you get further down the line.

I have already created a virtual faction harddisk from my other laptop but I want to use this virtual machine HDD on my office laptop for many reasons but I do not want to initiate any application like microsoft virtual machine or vmware application.

I want to use something which I can run & use it on the fly without having to position any application.

Any idea ?

Also I want to run on windows xp system , I dont want to use that ubunto real CD option ( As per my knowledge to ubunto CD i would need to reboot my laptop from that CD ?) which is like a cramp .

there is no surrebuttal to your question. you either need to use a live cd or a virtual machine.
