Frequently Asked

Server Management — Questions We Hear Most

Straight answers to the questions prospective clients ask before signing on. Don't see yours? Ask us directly — we'll put it in writing.

What types of servers do you manage?
Physical and virtual, on-premises and cloud: Windows Server, Linux distros, Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, Proxmox, Azure, AWS, and hybrid environments. File, print, AD, database, and application servers all covered.
How quickly do you respond to server outages?
Our monitoring triggers alerts within 60 seconds of downtime. A technician acknowledges the alert and begins remediation typically within 15 minutes, any time of day.
Can you migrate our servers from on-prem to the cloud?
Yes — including planning, test migrations, data cutover, DNS switchover, and rollback plan. Typical small-business server migration takes 2-6 weeks depending on complexity and downtime tolerance.
How do you handle OS patching on production servers?
Scheduled maintenance windows (typically nights or weekends), patches tested on pilot systems first. Critical security patches applied within 72 hours; cumulative updates in a regular monthly cadence.
Do you monitor server capacity and performance trends?
Yes — monthly reports show CPU, memory, disk, and network trends. We flag systems trending toward capacity before they hit problems so upgrades happen on schedule, not emergency.
How do you secure remote access to our servers?
VPN with MFA plus jump box architecture — no direct RDP exposed to the internet. All admin actions logged. Privileged access reviewed quarterly.
Do you manage Active Directory and Group Policy?
Yes — full AD administration including user lifecycle, OU structure, GPO design and deployment, Azure AD/Entra ID sync, and regular AD security audits to catch stale accounts and privilege drift.
What's your approach to server disaster recovery?
Documented DR plan with defined RTO/RPO per system. Replicas or backups to a separate geographic region. Annual full DR tests with documented results. Recovery runbook updated with every environment change.
Can you rebuild a server from scratch if it fails?
Yes — from image-level backups (bare-metal restore) or from documentation + backups of data. Typical full rebuild: 4-8 hours for a standard server, faster with cloud-replicated images.
Do you manage legacy or end-of-life servers?
Yes, but we'll also document the risk and recommend a migration path. Running EOL Windows Server or Linux creates compliance and security issues that grow over time.
