Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Computer and Server Maintenance

Planned preventive maintenance is just as important for your Windows computers, laptops and network servers as it is for your vehicle!

Advantages of Computer Maintenance

Advantages of planned, recurring, preventive maintenance and inspection include:

• Opportunity for earlier detection of computer issues
• Helps protect against computer viruses and malware
• Keeps the Windows operating system patched
• Keeps base software programs up to date (Adobe, Firefox, Chrome, Edge, etc.)
• Checks the health of the hard drive(s)
• Checks the status of local backups (if any)
• Checks the status of remote backups to office storage (if any)
• Typically reduces number of day-to-day service calls
• Optimizes the speed and operation of your Windows computers

Which computers should be regularly inspected?

We recommend scheduling a regular, recurring maintenance inspection for any servers, workstations and laptops that are key to the operation of your business. For example:

• Accounting computers / laptops
• Manager computers / laptops
• Business owner computer / laptop
• Any other computer or laptop that performs an important function in your business

How often is maintenance performed?

This depends on the criticality of your computer(s) and your desired budget. Server maintenance is typically scheduled monthly or quarterly (no less than quarterly). PC and laptop maintenance can vary from monthly, quarterly or even semi-annually depending on that computer’s importance to your business.

How does Diversified Computer schedule maintenance?

Server maintenance is typically performed outside regular business hours, either during an evening or over a weekend. PC and laptop maintenance is performed during the work week however we coordinate with the computer user to find a time that is least disruptive to their productivity.

How much does computer maintenance cost?

The cost for preventive maintenance will vary depending on:

• The number of Windows PCs, laptops and servers you wish to maintenance
• How often you wish to have maintenance performed
• The age of the servers / computers / laptops (slower devices take longer)
