03 / Architecture
How to choose the right server.
Server choice must reflect the quantity and type of applications to run and the number of connected users. For purchase we evaluate three characteristics: server type, hardware configuration, software.
Tower server
Costo e ingombro pari a un desktop. Ideale in locali con poco spazio. Under 25 employees a single processor and 2-4 disks suffice; above, dual processor and 4-6 disks.
Rack server
For SMEs with multiple servers. Si impilano in armadi rack: infrastruttura ordinata, ottima ventilazione e densità di calcolo elevata in poco spazio.
Blade server
The most compact form factor: high processing capacity, lower power consumption, reduced footprint. Multiple blades in a chassis share power and connectivity.
Server virtuale / VPS
Shared server with autonomous management. Isolated RAM, CPU and file system: it behaves like a dedicated one. Linux or Windows, ideal for scaling quickly.
04 / On-site & remote
Everything we do on your server.
A sysadmin intervenes at your site or secure remote support and quickly solves any technical problem. We provide support contracts for dedicated servers and virtual servers (VPS), at the company or in housing, with tools like VPN, ZTNA, business TeamViewer and jump host. We design custom solutions with detailed analysis and site visits, automating every repetitive operation.

06 / FAQ
The answers that matter.
The most frequent questions that CIOs, IT managers and SME owners ask us when they have to make a strategic decision about server infrastructure.
What are the main problems with an enterprise server?+
The criticità più ricorrenti sono: hardware faults (disks, power supplies, RAM), resource saturation (CPU, RAM, storage), RAID array corruption, ransomware attacks, degraded Active Directory configurations, untested backups that prove unusable at restore time, neglected patch management that opens known vulnerabilities.
Which server operating systems do you support today?+
Tutta la famiglia Microsoft Windows Server (2016, 2019, 2022, 2025) with Active Directory and Entra ID, and the main enterprise Linux distributions: Debian 12, Ubuntu Server 22.04 e 24.04 LTS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, Rocky Linux e AlmaLinux. We also maintain legacy installations for application compatibility.
Tower, rack, blade or virtual: how to choose?+
Tower for offices with up to 25 users and limited space. Rack for small and medium-sized companies with multiple machines. Blade for high-density data centers with power and space constraints. Virtuale (VPS) when scalability or fully isolated management on shared infrastructure is needed.
Do you offer SLA contracts with guaranteed response times?+
Yes. Modular contracts from Next Business Day a coperture 24/7 con SLA su tempo di presa in carico e ripristino, sia in teleassistenza che on-site. Before signing we define support timing and modalities and schedule plannable activities to minimize disruptions.
What is a 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy?+
The evolution of the classic 3-2-1: 3 copie dei dati, 2 supporti diversi, 1 copia off-site, 1 copia immutabile o air-gapped, 0 errori in restore tests. It is the modern standard against ransomware and disasters.
What is Zero Trust applied to servers?+
Zero Trust significa never trust by default, not even from the internal network. On servers it is applied with MFA on all administrative access, network microsegmentation, mandatory jump hosts, ZTNA instead of flat VPNs, EDR/XDR on every machine and the principle of least privilege.
Do you work remotely or only on-site?+
Both. For most interventions we use secure remote access — VPN site-to-site, ZTNA, jump host, TeamViewer business, VNC over encrypted tunnel — with MFA authentication and full logging. For hardware installations, RAID rebuilds, site surveys and cabling, the systems engineers intervene on site.
Which Linux technologies do you work with?+
Webserver Apache, Nginx, LiteSpeed e cPanel; database MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL; file server Samba, FTP/FTPS, NFS; mailserver Postfix, Sendmail, Qmail with SpamAssassin and ClamAV; firewall nftables and iptables; VMware, Proxmox VE, KVM, VirtualBox and vSphere virtualization.
Which Microsoft technologies do you work with?+
Windows Server 2016/2019/2022/2025, File Sharing e DFS, Active Directory e Domain Controller, Microsoft Entra ID, SQL Server from 2008 R2 to 2022, Internet Information Server (IIS), on-premise Exchange and Exchange Online, M365, Intune, Hyper-V and Failover Cluster.
