Servers

Windows Server

Design, installation, migration and maintenance of Windows Server for file storage, applications and business systems.

Plenty of businesses still need a server, whether for line of business software that expects one, file storage that has to stay local, or an application the vendor will only support on premises.

The usual issue is age. A server bought eight years ago is out of warranty, running an operating system that no longer receives updates, holding data nobody has tested a restore of.

Sound familiar?

  • The server is out of warranty and there is no replacement plan
  • The operating system no longer receives security updates
  • The server does five jobs and none of them can be moved
  • Performance has degraded and nobody knows why
  • A migration keeps being postponed because of the software that depends on it
  • Nobody has tested restoring from the backup

How Alienstech handles it

New builds are sized for the workload with room for growth, configured with roles separated where that is sensible, and documented from the start: roles, storage layout, addressing, licensing and recovery steps.

Migrations from an older server are planned around the applications rather than the calendar. That means confirming with each software vendor what is supported, moving data and shares with permissions intact, and scheduling the cutover out of hours with a way back if something does not behave.

Ongoing maintenance covers patching, storage and health monitoring, backup verification, and tracking warranty and licensing so the replacement conversation happens on your terms.

What you get

  • A server sized for the work, with warranty coverage that is tracked
  • An operating system that still receives security updates
  • Migrations planned around the software that depends on the server
  • Documented configuration and recovery steps
  • Restores that have actually been tested

If your server is more than five years old, it is worth a conversation now rather than after it fails.
