The Importance of Effective Server Management

According to the “U.S. Online Retail Forecast, 2011 to 2016” report conducted by tech research and analysis firm Forrester Research, online shoppers in the United States will spend $327 billion on 2016. This figure is up 45% from $226 billion this year and 62% from $202 billion in 2011. This upward trend in online shopping, coupled with figures that show consumers are becoming less and less patient with ill-functioning websites, makes server management critical to the success of any eCommerce business.
