There are times however when I really would like to have a small portable scanner that could be taken with me for travel or use at home.

IT network servers are the core technology of the office. If your server(s) are not healthy then your network performance will suffer. Improper maintenance is a key to increased downtime. Like the old TV commercial used to say, "You can pay me now or pay me later". The same is true of servers.
