What is Server Installation and Configuration?

Server installation involves setting up the physical hardware, while configuration refers to the software and network settings that enable servers to perform specific business functions and communicate securely within your network.

  • Scalability: Custom server solutions allow your infrastructure to grow with your business needs, whether you’re a startup or an enterprise.
