Server administration is the ongoing work of installing, configuring, securing and maintaining the servers that run websites, business e-mail, shared files and business software. It covers operating system updates, user accounts, backups, monitoring, spam and virus filtering and performance tuning. When administration is neglected, the result is slow systems, lost e-mail, security incidents and downtime at the worst possible moment. Internet Solutions installs and maintains Linux and Windows servers for companies and institutions. We tune servers to reduce the impact of spam and viruses on daily work, speed up servers that run accounting software and host business e-mail for more than a thousand companies on our own servers. Administration also links naturally with IT maintenance for computers and networks. A well-run server is invisible to staff, which is exactly the goal.
