ServerPlex MSP Contract
Success Story... |
Joseph & Brown Law Offices implemented a network comprising two servers and 20 client computers. They also had 5 mobile computers connecting over a virtual private network (VPN). All the information related to clients and legal documents was stored on one of the servers while the other was used to manage user accounts and onsite and offsite user connections.
However, as it is at all law firms, they did not have enough time to perform regular maintenance of their computer network. This led to frequent computer crashes and lost of important data that not only added to client frustrations but also affected the deadlines of their projects. Earlier, the Law Office resorted to seek external technical help to get their systems up, when ever they had a problem. But, this led to huge expenditures that were swiftly eating into their profits.
Then, they heard about the SeverPlex’s $600 per month managed service provider (MSP) program from one of our prestigious clients and decided to give it a try. Our experienced technicians quickly did a thorough edit of their infrastructure and tracked down a deadly virus that was stealthily but quickly spreading across their systems. |
Our technicians quickly got into action and used various troubleshooting techniques and effective antivirus programs to sweep their systems clean. Had we not removed the virus on time, the entire computer network at Joseph & Brown Law Offices was on its way to doom. The virus not only would have caused them to lose a lot of precious data, but would have caused physical damage to the computer systems that would have cost thousands of dollars just to get systems back up.
Mr. Brown says, “Adding ServerPlex's Managed Services has been like increasing our staff by 25 percent—staff that is completely focused on keeping our computer network up and running.
We now enjoy the multifold benefits of automated 24/7 monitoring service offered by ServerPlex and know that the experienced technical staff at ServerPlex is keeping a constant eye on our network and they are all equipped to prevent disasters even before they happen. We can now direct all our focus on our work and critical cases and leave all worries about our computer network and its functioning to ServerPlex. In other words, ServerPlex helps us keep our business up and running smoothly.” |

Out of these, around 4% received information about election campaign through the site.
Online Videos
Online videos of speeches, debates, interviews, and commercials by electoral candidates have also played an important role in the whole campaign process. More than 30% of Americans under the age 30 have seen some type of election video online.
