Project summary
MBS server removal
MBS were one of our last clients with emails still running on a bulky, noisey server in the office. Located in Pitstone, Buckinghamshire, the nature of their site meant power cuts and internet outages were frequent, and this was affecting their email flow. When the server couldn’t operate, the emails were not being delivered.
We engaged with them in a process of identifying what roles the server was carrying out, and how these could be migrated to Cloud environments, and the Windows server being turned off. Once suitable solutions were identified for each, it was a matter of putting our tried and tested project plans into action. As we have completed a number of jobs to remove servers, we started in good position to carry out the necessary migrations quickly. Utilising our Out of Hours support technician, a member of team on site and more in the office, we could coordinate all aspects of the move in a few days, in two different phases.
Projects highlights
No expensive, complex server
As a small business, the cost of replacing out of date server hardware can be quite overwhelming. We supported our client with moving away from the traditional server environment, removing the bulky equipment and replacing with a low-cost, low operating Network Attached Storage device. This ran the key functions of the server, saves and syncs data as well as being a fraction of the price.
