Why server documentation is critical

Having well-documented servers is essential for troubleshooting and security compliance. When servers crash or malfunction, clear documentation simplifies diagnosis, accelerates issue resolution, and ensures faster restoration.

XIA Configuration automates the process, generating comprehensive, always up-to-date documentation—giving IT teams confidence and control in the face of unexpected failures.
