A guide To Server Storage


Every office needs one so it’s best to keep it protected.

Where to host your server provider…

When it comes to backing up your documents and files, it’s best to use a server backup firm you can trust. Whether that’s in the UK, Europe or USA – there are a few things you may have overlooked which could influence your decision.

Is your server protected from adverse weather, tornadoes, earthquakes and hurricanes? If you have an American data centre then this is definitely worth checking out – this heat map showcases the danger areas of extreme weather.

The states depicted to be in the hurricane, tornado and earthquake ‘danger zone’ include California, Florida, Washington, Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, Nebraska, South Carolina, Louisiana, Arizona, New Mexico. Florida is looking especially dodgy as there is a high risk of both tornadoes and hurricanes in the ‘Sunshine State’ so watch your step if your server is located there. Read the full report.

If you have no need for a tall cabinet then a wall cabinet will protect your server just as well. They are small yet lightweight and have a strong structure meaning it is ideal for mounting data/networking equipment such as switches, routers, firewalls and modems. Plus, the cabinets are quick and easy to install so there’s no need to waste time with assembly or customising, and they are very sturdy with a smooth appearance and are of outstanding value.

For easy access they come with removable side panels and extra wide door trim handles. If you would like to upgrade from a standard Perspex front door to a solid steel entrance this option is available.
