In terms of what a server can do for your small business, there are many ways we can explain the benefits. Sometimes it’s easier to get our point across by referencing servers in ways you can better understand. That is, we can give you fictional scenarios that can better explain why your small business will benefit from the use of a server. In this episode, we use baseball to better describe how to utilize a server for your company.

If you were the manager of a baseball team, a server would give you an added advantage over the rest of the league. Say all of your team had iPads that they kept on them at all times and these iPads were all connected to a server, here is how you would run the team. Instead of signaling the the third base coach you want the batter to bunt, you would simply send a message directly to the batter. After checking the message to bunt, the batter could access the files you have stored on the server for best bunting practices. You could also store information about how the opposing pitcher likes to throw first pitch fastballs. This information is in a database that all players can access regardless what city you are playing.

You see, baseball is a game of numbers and it is a game of strategies. While this information is passed along verbally to your players, there is no way to remember all of it. This is why you see so many meetings of players on the pitcher’s mound, they are exchanging and verifying information. With a server and individual iPads, games would move along much more quickly.

We hope this shed a little light on the benefits of utilizing a server for your company. And don’t forget, for all your HP server parts and IBM system storage, you can rely on us.
