Cost and complexity make typical high end server and network solutions unrealistic for some small businesses. ARK Technologies offers completely managed server solutions available for a very small initial investment and a very reasonable monthly fee. No contracts longer than one year are necessary, and each solution includes new server hardware and all necessary licensing. Because these are “Managed” solutions, any server related issues are owned and handled by ARK Technologies.

Although workstation hardware has become very cheap, some small businesses may choose to save money by leasing low end workstations. This solution can be offered for as low as $10/month per PC, assuming a managed server is also leased. These workstations will run Windows XP™, and can be configured to run the necessary office productivity software very efficiently. This option can make implementing a small (5-10 workstation) network very cost effective.
