The maintenance of computer equipment is important to extend the useful life of your devices and avoid or minimize failures that have to do with their systems.
That way you can anticipate possible errors or sudden failures. Although in the short term it implies a periodic financial investment, in reality you will be able to minimize the economic and operational shocks if a very serious failure occurs later and that you may have been able to prevent.
We also indicate where you can find qualified personnel to carry out these tasks.
What does the maintenance of computer equipment entail?
The maintenance of computer equipment will allow us to determine if the computer equipment is being used improperly and if it is warning of possible failures.
Advantages of maintaining your computer equipment
If you anticipate the failures that your computer equipment may present, you can achieve the following advantages:

- Reduce the probability of your equipment stopping unexpectedly.
- Reduce the risk of failures.
- Plan investments, because you will be anticipating failures.
How often should preventative maintenance tasks be performed?
This will depend on the complexity of each computer system and also its criticality. Each computer system should be reviewed once a quarter in systems with 5 or fewer PCs, and once a month in systems with more than 5 PCs and with a server.
These are some of the tasks carried out during maintenance:
On the corporate server:
- Check free disk space.
- Update the operating system and applications.
- Review the event viewer and also the event log.
- Check the status of the antivirus.
- Backup statuses.
