Used Switches as Replacements

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

I had heard the name Cisco PIX Firewalls before and I’m sure that our company is using it as well. The good thing about this model is its wide range of security and networking services that most companies trust. Our network switch stopped working a few days ago and our technician ordered Cisco 4000 switches to fix the networking problem right away. It’s a good thing that the problem happened, when most of our workload has been finished and the delay didn’t cause any major problems.

When the new switches arrived, everything returned to normal and it was as if the problem didn’t even existed. I talked to the technician that ordered the replacement for the switches and asked him where he got them. He gave me the address of the website that he uses, when purchasing the hardwares that we use for our company. After giving me the referral, I checked it out for myself and was surprised when I found out that the replacement that he used was “second hand”. I thought that the replacement will have some problems after a few weeks, but it has already been a year and we haven’t experienced any major problems whatsoever.

Experience in Handling Storage Systems

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

I worked part time as a personal assistant in an office a few years back and I had my share of handling different files a day. The office work was rough and I was glad that I was only a part time helper, because I was also busy with my studies at the same time. Their files were stored and organized on the IBM SAN System and I was told that they also make backups for the files that they are working on, every single day.

I didn’t know much about the IBM SAN Storage system aside from the fact that it can hold a lot of data and has more than enough space for all the files that the company has done over the years. Thanks to the experience that I gained in that workplace, I was able to develop the skills that I used to land a good job in the city. I’m also handling “paper works” and the likes and it has all become second nature to me. My officemates had been a great help in the first few days and they taught me all that I need to know on how they do things in their company.

Quality Servers for Less

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Running a startup business doesn’t only require skills and patience but also knowledge about ways to cut down on overhead costs. In this day and age of computers, no company can ever hope to survive without arming themselves with the right equipment. Unfortunately, resources like these require heavy investment which why me and online business co- founders decided to look for used IBM pSeries servers instead of buying new ones.

Servers are important tools of the trade we chose to specialize in. But unlike big companies we don’t have the resources to purchase the latest gear which doesn’t really affect us that much. Why? It’s because used IBM pSeries servers work as efficient as the latest models for our purpose. Sure, we sacrifice a little on features but we save a lot on hardware investment which translates to more profits.

There’s no doubt that having the latest machinery is good for any kind of business but we don’t believe that owning them gives anybody a guarantee at success - it’s how they are used that will reflect a good business sense.  

Myth Busted by HP Storage

Thursday, August 26th, 2010

Whenever I hear or see the word ‘storage’, the first word that pops in my mind is ‘tiring’. I even have this impression in mind growing up that you can never ever efficiently file and store things and expect that you can find them right away once you will need them in the future. I mean, we are not talking bout twenty or thirty files here. We are talking about hundreds and thousands, dating back to way back when. But well, now I know that I thought it wrong. It is actually possible. Not only that you can store even more than a hundred thousand, you can also duplicate and have a means of searching through them as a easy as choosing the undershirt you are going to use that day. Of course, it was made possible by HP Storage solutions.

Now, I am current using the HP BladeSystem storage. It is actually just like the other HP products. It’s just that I find it more appropriate for someone with a job like me. Nonetheless, my myth was once again busted by HP. Can we give it a standing ovation please?

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Alisa has always been the haggle seeker. Being a single mom of a two year old girl, she’s been working her way to college as well as feeding her baby. She is living in an apartment and works as a part time in an IT company. Alisa has been known to be the best bargain hunter when it comes to clothing, accessories, even apartment and computer equipments! She loves finding the best out of the low priced stores, and always gets the best of it! When I need to find something in flea markets, I always take her with me because she haggles with such a talent that she constantly wins over!!! When it comes to her IT equipments, she’s always got the best. She has a good PC, a mini server, and an HP SAN in her apartment room. I didn’t know being a haggler could be awesome!

While trying to keep ends me, she tells me of how she gets the best deals out of reseller stores. She says that there are many stores out there that refurbish used computer parts so that they could be of use again. In that way, these equipments are recycled and used to the fullest. She told me that she bought her HP Storage from there. It sounds like a good thing to be able to use a high quality component without a higher cost. That’s why I admire her!

In a multinational company, updating and upgrading the network IT infrastructure is a must.  In this way, management and all the personnel are assured that business continuity is smooth and there is no down time error.  This year, our IT Department decides on using VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone system.  Our department heads both from the treasury and IT is convinced with the new system our work load are lessened and that we are able to be more productive in a low cost.   

The phone line is attached to the internet connection and this provides unlimited voice, messaging and data services.  To make the network IT infrastructure more reliable and no down time error, we are recommended to use IBMxSeries Servers.  IBM has already proven its quality in the IT world.  It innovative products are worth the penny you paid for the equipment.

It is a great move.  We are able to update our IT infrastructure and are able to be profitable too.

Getting Started

Monday, June 7th, 2010

We have just started a small company and are in need of a few workplace computers and a server that would help us get started. Finding those computers seems to be quite the task, because our boss prefer quality above all else. It’s a good thing that we happen to stumble upon the IBM pSeries, they offer maintenance and support for their products which is important to our line of work.

We don’t know too much about computers and will not be able to fix anything if they break down or just stop working. I’ve been hearing a lot about their Used pSeries Servers, they said that it is one of the best that is available on the market today. I’m not too much of a techie person, but I do know a good computer when I see one. Their product is fast and works the way that it should be. I’m glad that we found the best partner for our business needs. Nothing beats good customer service and on-call assistance whenever and wherever you need them.

Our company is in good hands and that is what matters most. If it makes our boss happy, then it makes us happy as well.

Dell Repair Has Fixed My Poweredge Servers Many Times

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

For three years now I have been using the same dell repair company and have never had any problems with them till now. I called to have them write up a work order to fix my poweredge servers like they have done many times before. This time, the woman who I talked, to must have been new or something and she asked me not to send the poweredge serves today because they were backed up with repairs.

I hung up the phone and just stood there thinking that I must have not heard her correctly and so I tried back and got a different operator. I explained that I had used their dell repair service many times before and that I once again needed my servers to be fixed and then sent back. The operator that I had on the line at the time helped me with the work order and then asked me if I had any other questions.

I proceeded to tell him all about the woman that I had spoken with earlier and how she had asked me not to send the poweredge servers today because they were backed up and had lots of other repairs. He was dumbfounded and told me that he was very sorry and would make sure to find out who did that and take care of the problem right away.
