Recommendations:
For companies with fewer than 1000 employees, it remains more cost effective for NWDS to provide:

  • Database Server;
  • Web Server;
  • Nightly Backups;
  • Continuous Service Monitoring; and
  • Product Support.

Some companies may have special security requirements, such as state and federal law enforcement agencies. In these cases, cost is seldom an issue. Feel free to install SMS Pro™ on your servers. NWDS can continue to provide support.
