Business problem

Server decisions should match the business, not the buzzword.

Some businesses need a server. Some need NAS storage. Some need a simpler cloud or backup plan. The right answer depends on workflow, access, risk, and budget.

Current server is aging

Review reliability, backup status, operating risk, and replacement path.

Files need central access

We are not sure what to buy
