The next step is to choose a security method for your datacenter growth. Pure and unmanaged dedicated servers may bring you some rick, as you need some higher data protection.

Cheap and attractive dedicated server offers may be a bad idea, when you have important data in your servers. Most "servidor dedicado" offers will be about unmanaged servers (do it your self). It's very important to have an experienced IT professional advicing you, taking care and monitoring your servers.

As the global crisis advances, pricing became a most relevant fact considered by IT managers. That's the risky point, the low price offer will cost much more when you lack knowledge.

Joseph Malaquias, an experienced executive, says: "In 2001 we hired our first dedicated server from a large company. It looked good, we got an attractive offer for US$ 159/month. No raid, no backup solution, no firewall. Two years later, we suffered the worst: all databases were lost due to a physical disk damage." - And he lost months of work.

A mid-experienced IT manager should have considered getting a data center with at least one backup solution, just like a tape backup or also a remote storage. The total cost shouldn't be over US$275/mo, and Malaquias would be safer if he had the correct advice on hiring his servers.
