Upgrading to a Fast Ethernet switch or hub will greatly bolster the
performance of your network, but you can further expedite routine business
tasks such as storage, retrieval and back-up of applications and files,
printing and e-mail communications. Simply add servers to your network.
Generally, servers are powerful computers with large hard drives that are
optimized to serve the rest of your network or perform specific functions.
Small business servers are a very cost-effective strategy for enhancing
productivity and streamlining specific operations.
Servers can perform many invaluable tasks; two that are key to small
businesses are storing data and applications in a central location and
enhancing office-wide printing.

Storage servers

A
storage server provides a large hard drive on which employees can store
applications, files and resources. Workers can share applications for
centralized management of tasks and resources, such as sales,
order-processing and accounting. They work with same information in common
databases, ensuring that your business data is always current. Moreover,
files and resources are much easier to access when stored centrally on a
server rather than scattered among individual computers. Employees also
can back up mission-critical files onto the file server for additional
security. Storage servers also make back-ups easier. When all files are
stored on the storage server, only one device, rather than multiple PCs,
needs to be backed-up routinely. Small-business storage servers are
affordable, easy to install and make excellent business sense even for
very small organizations.
Print servers

A
print server greatly improves printing throughout an organization over
deployments where printers are connected directly to individual computers.
A print server eliminates the need to dedicate a computer to serving as a
“slave” to the printer. It enables employees to use any printer on the
network, regardless of where the device is actually located. It will queue
files and print them according to either a first-come basis or a
designated prioritization. It also allows workers to offload print jobs
from their computers to the print server, freeing their computers to
perform other tasks.
All-in-one servers

There are server solutions available that provide a host of services, such
as print, storage, e-mail, remote access, firewall security and Internet
access. These devices offer considerable functionality in one compact box
and can be a good choice even if you do not intend to deploy all of their
capabilities immediately.
Servers connect to hubs or switches. Moreover, you can install them
yourself if you select small-business server solutions that feature
installation wizards. Adding a server does not require any reconfiguration
of your network.
