Server
In a world where everything is software defined, we sometimes forget just how important the hardware layer is, but getting the hardware right means less licensing and more performance for the budget. Spending more doesn't always increase performance, spending the money where it needs to be spent gives the best user experience.
Storage
Storage architecture is more than just storing data, it is a critical part of the infrastructure and
if correct will be invisible to the estate. All storage offers huge amounts of capacity and performance. The
differentiator is how easily it is managed, how much management it requires and how available it is.
Our Approach
Our approach is to gain an understanding of what your current IT infrastructure set-up is and what your main challenges
and problems are. The goal of Hardware has always been to find the best solution for our customers' unique challenges,
whether Cost Reduction, Limiting Downtime, Reducing Latency, Increasing Performance... Hence why we avoid the "cookie
cutter" approach of Vendors and other resellers.
This vendor flexibility is what lies at the heart of our approach. We're often asked to quote for a
particular Dell/Lenovo/HPE product; however, brand is the last thing we look at. Getting the solution &
specification correct is where we start. It also means you're buying the right product, not what a Vendor wants you to buy.

Key Problems or Challenges
Availability
Whilst having 4 Hour Support is a reassurance, what if waiting 4 hours to have a failed Power Supply
costs your business £10K in lost revenue? – We design systems that take into account your business priorities.
Licensing Costs
Keeping track of Server OS Licensing is complex – It's constantly changing (as per VMWares 2020 Core
per CPU update) and becoming increasingly costly. Understanding Windows Server, VMWare, Oracle and SQL means we can
design cost effective systems which pay for themselves over their lifecycle by reducing Licence costs.
Logistics and Leadtime Issues
Whether it's a one-off deployment or rolling out Servers to multiple sites, with
different builds, we have the Warehousing and Logistics experience to do this, Worldwide. If you're suffering from
Leadtime problems our supply-chain can source from alterative sources and we can hold stock on a Call out basis when
you're ready to deploy.
Upgradeability
Whilst nobody knows exactly where there IT requirements will be in the future, we can at least
give you a cost effective upgrade path, rather than relying on forklift upgrades. With Servers, adopting a Single Gold
Xeon rather than Dual Socket Silver Xeons gives you the same IOPS Performance, better memory utilization and the ability
to add more Power in future. Likewise with Storage, you need to know that your chosen SAN/DAS/HCI solution isn't limited
to a fixed number of Nodes leaving you without room for expansion.
