A lot of what's required to keep your daily operations safe and stable can be maintained remotely. This saves time and money whenever something can be done off premise, or off hours!  Many patches, monitoring or follow up to non-critical problems can be done without waiting a day or two to schedule someone to show up. Downtime and outages can be kept to an absolute minimum If you keep up with minimal monthly maintenance routines.  You decide on how much or how little you want when it comes to remote services that can be made available to you.
