Your income grew. Your business needs improvements. US Crisis is going away, and you are hiring new professionals. And your servers infrastructure so grows.

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 should be a bad idea, when you host important data in your servers. Most servidores dedicados offers will be about not managed servers (do it your self). It's very important to have an experienced IT professional advicing you, taking care and monitoring your IT infrastructure.

As the world crisis advances, pricing became a most important fact considered by IT managers. That's the trick, the cheap offer will cost much more when you lack knowledge.

Morgan Douglas, an IT executive, says: "In 2001 we hired our first co-located server from a large company. It looked good, we took an attractive offer for US$ 139/month. No raid array, no backup solution, no firewall. 1 year later, we suffered the worst: all databases were lost due to ...
... a physical disk damage." - And he lost years of work.

Any experienced IT manager should have considered getting a datacenter with at least one backup solution, e.g. tape backup or even a remote storage. The total cost shouldn't be over US$275/mo, and Malaquias would be safer if he had the correct advice when hiring his servers.
