What this service covers

Many businesses still run a server in a closet for file shares, a line-of-business application or Active Directory. We keep those servers patched, monitored, backed up and documented, whether they are physical machines or virtual machines on Hyper-V or VMware.

When a server reaches end of life, we help you decide whether to replace it, consolidate it or move its workloads to Microsoft 365 or the cloud, and we plan the refresh before the hardware fails.

Yes, for managed plans, priced per server.

Can you move us off our server entirely?

Often, yes. Many file shares move to SharePoint and many apps now run in the cloud.
