As a small business grows, you find yourself needing more staff, a more advanced website, CRM, firewall and e-commerce. Buying a Mac OS X server makes sense as a central location for your important files, shared applications and other resources, but servers do not manage themselves. Whether you are running a fully-configured xServe and RAID, or simply running OSX Server software on Mac Pro or iMac, your server performance is critical to the efficiency of your business.

If the server fails, you end up with lost revenue, lost productivity, and damage to your reputation. These negative scenarios are mostly avoidable by preventing outages and maximizing high standards of server performance, but this often requires some professional help. A server support contract via an Apple Authorized Service Provider can be a shrewd business investment.
