Servers that are set up right and kept current
Our server management services cover the machines that store shared files, run business software and control who can sign in. Keylink Innovative Technology sets up and maintains servers for businesses across Nashville and Middle Tennessee, whether the server sits in your office or in the cloud.
Many small businesses run on a server that someone set up years ago. It still works, so nobody touches it. Then an update is missed, a drive starts to fail, or the one person who knew the password leaves.
We document what the server does and who depends on it. We keep it patched and checked. We also plan ahead, so a replacement or a move to the cloud happens on your schedule instead of during an emergency.
- On site or cloud, with a straight answer about which fits your business.
- Regular patching and health checks instead of waiting for a failure.
- The same team that supports the computers and network connected to it.
Who it is for
Businesses that depend on a server every day
Server work usually starts with one of these situations.
A server in the closet
A machine that holds shared files or user accounts, and nobody is sure when it was last updated.
Software that needs a server
Accounting, scheduling or industry software that runs on a machine your business owns.
Weighing on site against cloud
You want a clear comparison before you replace aging hardware or move to the cloud.
A growing team
More people, more files and more locations than the original server was built for.
Problem and result
From a server you worry about to one you can rely on
Each common problem has a plain fix.
Missed updates
Patching, updates and health checks on a regular schedule, so known problems are fixed before they cause trouble.
Nobody knows how it is set up
Written records of what runs on the server, who uses it and how it is configured.
Aging hardware
A replacement plan made ahead of time, with options and costs laid out before anything is bought.
Files at risk
Backups set up and checked so a failed drive does not mean lost work. See backup and recovery.

FAQ
Questions about server management services
Should we keep our server or move to the cloud?
It depends on the software you run, your internet connection and your costs. We review your setup and recommend what makes sense, and what does not, before you spend money.
Is server work included in managed IT support?
Server and infrastructure setup is an add-on that can be paired with any of our managed IT support packages. Website hosting and wiring are billed separately from the support plan.
Can you take over a server someone else set up?
We start the way we start with every new client: we review and document your systems. Then we tell you what needs attention first.
Do you buy the server hardware for us?
We can. When we buy hardware for you, we do not charge extra on top of the cost.
