Impressing the Boss

Joon — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 14:38:56 +0000

The boss called us up one day for a meeting regarding the purchase of new equipment for the office. It was a great time to open up the upgrade that I have been planning to do for the office network. I really wanted to buy brand new IBM Storage servers for our requirements however it might not be approved due to the high costs of procuring one.

I was able to get the attention of the boss and explained why we needed to implement IBM SAN solutions to the network upgrade that I was planning. However, he was reluctant when I gave him the figures when he asked how much it was going to cost the company. With that, he advised me that I either scrap the project completely or look for another way to do the upgrade without costing too much.

One of my colleagues suggested that we check online to see if we can source used IBM products that are refurbished. We did just that and we were able to find a reliable supplier that could provide us with the needed equipment. We got the go signal to order from them and we are now enjoying an improved network thanks to them.

IBM has been a brand that most people trust especially when it comes to information technology. They always create products so innovative that helps us to stay updated in this fast paced world. Whereas many of the progress in IT change invariably and rather becomes unstable, IBM stays true to its name in bringing the most powerful yet trusted products to date. The IBM iSeries, noted for its dependability and scalability, is one of the best IT products that have been released.

IDC published the comparison report “Server Cost of Ownership in ERM Customer Sites” way back in 2001. It rated servers upon different factors and encounters, some which includes the unplanned downtime hours per month, percentage of internal users that have been affected, and the server availability. IBM iServers stood out and beats Standard Intel Architecture Servers as well as Unix. If you’re planning to buy a server for your IT –based Company today, why not try and get the best by buying IBM iSeries Servers? You could check out their website or a local tech store to find out more about these series. Moreover, you could also go less expensive by buying Used IBM iSeries Servers on a reseller store near you!

New Technicians Installed The Used Servers

Joon — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 20:48:33 +0000

The technician that came to install the used servers had no idea what he was doing and messed everything up. All the wiring in the storage room that had been working just fine had been unplugged and the old servers were sitting on the floor next to the used poweredge servers that had never left the boxes they were shipped in. He left a bill for five hundred dollars and the secretary at the front desk paid it without every checking his work.

I think that the four technicians that came in the following day had to spend about four hours first putting everything back where it belonged and then four more switching the old servers over to the used servers that we were going to use now.

After they submitted their bill, the secretary told them that they would have to be mailed a check due to recent situations brought to her attention. In other words, she had gotten into big trouble and could not pay them for the installation of the used poweredge servers until her boss approved it and was satisfied with the work. I knew that they had done a good job when the whole system in the office came back up and was running like it used to years ago.

The Neighbor Gave Us A Deal On Used HP Proliant Servers

Joon — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 15:35:24 +0000

My next door neighbor used to own a computer repair shop and closed it down last month because a big chain store had moved into town and taken a lot of business away from him. I felt really bad for him but he told me that he had tons of used equipment to sell and would be fine for a while. He offered to give me a chance to check out his inventory first, before he started selling it on the auction sites.

I had no use for it but my son might want some so I asked him to come and take a look. My son ended up spending about five thousand dollars with my neighbor, mainly for some used hp servers. My son owns a company that goes through servers very quickly. I think that the neighbor told him that the used proliant servers he had would last him longer than any other brand out there.

My son took his advice on the used hp servers and bought every one of the used proliant servers that the neighbor had. He gave my son an extra discount for paying him cash and everyone was happy with the way the deal all went down.

The Poweredge Servers Only Lasted About Seven Years

Joon — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:17:11 +0000

The last time that our company had to replace the poweredge servers, it cost way too much. I think that we really thought that they would last for at least ten to twenty years. I believe that it has only been about seven years that the dell repair guy has suggested replacing them, or the repair costs could be really high.

I would love to find some used servers that have been refurbished, the kind that have been cleaned up and are like new, but not with a new price tag. If the dell repair man is correct, those kinds are out there but you have to do some searching to find them. I decided to call around and see if any of the many local computer shops had some used poweredge servers and I could not find any that did.

I turned to the internet, which I had put off because I did not want to wait on the poweredge servers to be shipped, I wanted them now. I was so happy to find an online company that had the poweredge servers, refurbished at great prices and they would ship them overnight, for a little extra charge. I am hoping that since I ordered servers that were bigger than the last ones, they will last more like the ten to twenty years that we need them to.

She Bought Two Used Iseries Servers

Joon — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 07:01:43 +0000

My sister Kelly was hoping to get most of her computer equipment for her new business used. I told her that I would keep my eye out for anything that might be of use to her. I do not know much about computers so I thought that I would ask my teenage son for some help.

He said that I should try looking online for companies that sell used iseries servers and used bladecenter servers. I do not even know what a server is, but he said that she will need one so I got online to search. I found a bunch of great sites to get used computer stuff.

I took the list of what my son recommended that Kelly should buy and showed her along with all of the sites that I found. She bought two used iseries servers and passed on the used bladecenter server because it was priced a little higher than the iseries servers were. I think that she made some good choices. I just hope that they can keep up with the demand of her business.

My son took all the credit for making her computer equipment choices for her and I let him because I would never have known about the websites with the great deals. I would have driven all over town to try and find servers and such without really knowing what they were.

Anatomy of Desktop Memory

Joon — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:05:51 +0000

Understanding hard drives and performance memory is important when shopping around for a new computer. Since computers have different types of memory, we wanted to provide some helpful information pertaining to RAM, officially called Random Access Memory is the heart of the computer, the type of memory that makes programs run. With RAM memory, things are transient, unlike what you would find with other types of computer memory to include storage memory or disc space.

When buying a new computer, you will need to consider the type of programs you plan to download, as well as overall uses. Let us say you were interested in installing an architectural program. On the box, you will see a list of the RAM needed for that program to run. You would take this, along with other programs, ensuring your performance memory can accommodate. Remember, if you purchased Tecra memory, 7450r memory, SMC memory, or something else but find the computer does not offer the capacity needed, you can always upgrade by adding more memory. In most cases, today’s computers are designed with ample storage or RAM but if additional memory is required, it is relatively inexpensive. The best option would be to determine your needs first and then choose the computer accordingly.
