Hardware
Server hardware is now considered by most manufacturers, to be out of date within three years. The advancement of power and cooling technology means that most of the current HP and Dell servers will return the investment in two years if not months. HP claim the G7 will pay for itself within three months when replacing a G4.
Not every business can replace the hardware on such a basis though. The idea that some of the most critical business applications in our world today, could be running on hardware that could be twenty years old or more, seems almost implausible. Yet truth is stranger than fiction.
The world of technology may have advanced at the desktop and mobile level but the core information Banks, Insurance, Health service and Government rely on is still being delivered on software platforms decades old. The software and applications are not compatible with modern technology and such projects can be years from conception to implementation.
In that time, the hardware has to keep running and Prodec Networks is a specialist in providing legacy kit that keeps some of the most essential systems running.
Older Servers such as DEC Vaxes, Compaq Alpha’s and HP 9000 range are still in use and Prodec has memory, motherboards, daughter boards, power supplies to keep your systems running.
