I'm deploying a desktop PC to an office which will be running Windows 7 and will have to be online 24/7 without going to hibernate/sleep mode, because people will be accessing it remotely (Teamviewer) at any times of day, therefore I assume it simply can't hibernate itself and become unavailable.

The question is: Is there any precaution, assuming the PC will be running on an SSD drive?

EDIT:

The drive is 64GB SSDNow Kingston V100.
I don't plan on using any antivirus.

Just make sure you have good antivirus. Other than that, without listing a current make and model of your SSD, this is speculation. For all we know, you have a first gen enterprise drive. . . – surfasb Oct 8 '11 at 1:32

There are no special precautions outside of the normal SSD concerns. Just try not to copy a 10GB file and delete it every 30 minutes and you'll be ok. A newer SSD like yours will be fine for normal use.

Check out SSD Tweaker. This program will configure your system to preserve the life of the SSD. Since you're running the OS on the SSD drive you will also want to disable disk defragmenting as this will hurt the life of the SSD and not give any performance boost. The utility will do a bunch of small things to help performance and life of the SSD.

Dont keep benchmarking the SSD

Meh, mathematically, you'll have to benchmark about 10GB of data to kill a SSD in 5 years. – surfasb Oct 9 '11 at 1:13
