We always recommend HP Enterprise servers for our customers and work with two of the largest distributors in the UK to make sure we can deliver quickly and accurately.
HP provide us with a server configurator that we use to design the best and most appropriate server for your needs. This means that before quoting we need to have a short discussion to confirm disk space, what operating system and applications would be loaded and the use of the server. From there it’s a simple task to recommend and quote for the best server.
HP manufacture both desktop and rack mounted servers and all have the iLo (Independent Lights Out) management system that will let you see the server screen, switch power on and off and check errors remotely. All of this is included as standard with the server and makes for simple management long term.
When well configured, the addition of high speed disks and fast RAID cards mean that you can get access to your data quickly with the confidence that a disk failure won’t harm your business.
Andisa have just completed a design and build project to give us a new network capable of expanding to man racks so that we can expand our streaming monitoring business.
All I can say about the router they sent us is: it was the smoothest transition I've ever had!
I have been involved in many upgrades over the years but this build and swap out was faultless. Andisa visited for twice. Once to audit / research and once to install the new kit. They agreed the outcomes at the start of the project, reviewed each day and ultimately delivered exactly what they promised. And as I said, it was the smoothest transition I have ever had!
