Even if you use a single computer, perhaps a laptop or notebook, you know how important it is to keep it in shape. Regular virus scans, defragmentations, keeping a tab on the health of your hardware are all day-to-day activities that consume your valuable time and add on to the number of tasks you need to catch upon.
Now, imagine a data center with hundreds or possibly thousands of machines, or your network with a multitude of servers, routers and firewalls. Sure, you can use your systems administrator or network engineers to fix and manage it all. But, are they geared to handle it all? Are they updated with all the relevant technologies? Can they fix it 24×7, can you afford to keep someone with 20 or more years of IT experience?
