Does a small business still need a server?

Some do and some do not. A business server makes sense when you run software that must stay on site, work with large files, need fast local storage or have rules about where data lives. Many offices can move file sharing and email to the cloud and skip the server entirely.

TechCore helps businesses in Middle Tennessee and Chattanooga make that decision, then plans and installs the right setup: an on-site server, a virtualized server, cloud storage or a mix, with permissions and backup set up from day one.

What we plan

Server infrastructure sized for the operation

We size servers around the software you run, the people who use it and the data you cannot lose.

Server planning and setup

Hardware and operating system chosen for your workload, then installed, configured and tested.

Health and capacity

Processor, memory and storage sized so the server is not out of room in a year.

Storage and file access

Shared folders and storage organized so people can find files and the right people can open them.

User permissions

Access set by role, so sensitive folders stay limited to the people who need them.

Backup and recovery planning

Backups set up and tested, with a plan for getting back up and running if the server fails.

Virtualization and cloud options

Virtual servers or cloud services where they make more sense than another physical box.

Why it matters

Your server holds the files you cannot lose

When a server is undersized, unprotected or out of support, every person who depends on it is affected. The time to plan is before it fails, not after.

TechCore plans servers with backup and support in mind from the start. For video recording, our sister company Turner Security uses dedicated recorders and video management servers, and TechCore supports the network they run on.

Common questions

Questions we hear a lot

How much does a business server cost?

It depends on the workload, storage, redundancy and software licensing you need. We review your requirements first and give you a written proposal so you can compare on-site and cloud options.

Should we use a server or the cloud?

If your software must run locally, you work with very large files or you need fast local storage, a server may be right. If you mainly need file sharing and email, the cloud is often simpler. Many businesses use a mix.

How long does a business server last?

Server hardware commonly runs for several years, but the real limit is often when the manufacturer and operating system stop providing updates. We help you plan replacement before support ends.

Can you move our files from an old server?

Yes. We plan the migration so files, folders and permissions move over with as little disruption as possible, often after hours.

Do you back up the server?

Yes. Backup and recovery planning is part of every server we set up, and we test that files can actually be restored.

Do you handle security camera recording servers?

Camera recorders and video management servers are part of the security systems our sister company Turner Security installs. See our DVR, NVR and VMS server page for details.

Five-star reviews from real customers

We used Turner Security when our business transferred to a new location and they went above and beyond to make sure we were up and running for business as quickly as possible. Jamie, Mike, Reid, Nathan, Greg, TJ and Dan were all very polite, professional, and friendly. I highly recommend them for all your IT needs!

TechCore takes care of our IT and we could not be more pleased with Jamie, Chris and everyone at Turner Security. They are quick to respond and fix any IT issues.

MOV Ministry Men of Valor Google review, 5 stars

I am a manager for 4 locations of Express Employment Professionals and we've recently used TechCore for our phone service. Our installation was easy and fast! Jamie and Alex took extra care to make sure all of our needs were met in each office, they had everything installed and running on the same day and Alex has been incredibly helpful for any changes we've needed with staff changes. I would highly recommend TechCore's phone and networking service.
