It started 4 years ago when an old personal friend approached us to help with his IT requirements as he was setting up his own cruise business. He needed a small server and a couple of PC’s. Over the year he then started taking on home workers which again need PC’s but also routers with specific VOIP connections.

Subsequently since then, he has grown his business to in excess of 40 staff and last week it culminated with them winning the Travelzoo award for best cruise deals supplier in Europe.

We are proud to be involved in their success and it shows with the right IT solutions anything can be achieved.

Well done to Ian at Jetline Cruise and his team.

The most popular range of Servers is the Hewlett Packard Proliant range. The terminology of Servers and their idiosyncrasies can be very confusing for the small business owner who has more interesting business matters to deal with than understanding such terms as RAID, SAS, and RPS etc

HardSoft have been offering Servers for nearly twenty years and offer a complete start to finish installation service. Most are supplied on a three year flexible lease that also includes warranty and support……

Hardsoft guide to the HP Server range…….First thing to understand is that the ML range are Towers and the equivalent DL range are rack style and slide into floor standing Racks. Currently all these models have various configurations in terms of hard drive sizes, CPU speeds and since 2010 are all the Generation 6 i.e. the sixth revision

HP Proliant ML110 – a small Mini Tower that is almost identical to a normal PC except that it uses an Intel Xeon CPU. Ideal for companies with 5 Users and mainly email and file sharing. Installed from £9 per week.

HP Proliant ML310 – this is a physically bigger Tower and can be noisy. The ML310 features hard drives that are in removable cradles. This means the User can change drives easily. It is generally configured with Mirrored hard drives that protect data against a drive failure. Installed from £12 per week.

HP Proliant ML330- same design and chassis as the ML310 but with a motherboard that supports Two CPU’s.  This means the Server is more future proof. Installed from £14 per week.

HP Proliant ML350- the world’s most popular Server is also 2 X CPU capable but principally offers the option for a second Power Supply in case one fails(RPSU) and the hard drives are hot pluggable –meaning less downtime as the drives can be changes whilst the Server is in use. Additionally these Servers can feature faster access hard drives (SAS drives rather than SATA) – ideal if you run a database or have large graphics files that need sharing. Additionally a RAID controller can be added to control the drives and give protection against data loss. This is by creating a Raid 5 array. Installed from £18 per week.

If you need to understand what Server is best for you then talk to us at HardSoft. Our flexible lease schemes mean Servers are very affordable. A typical ML310 Server installed with 5 X HP PC’s is just £43 per week.

*prices quoted are based on 3 year lease that includes ownership options at the expiry for £39 and excludes Server software costs and ancillary items but does include installation and data migration.

Originally £69 per week on our three year flexible lease contract this is now £64 plus VAT per week and includes a Mac Mini Server with Drobo back up plus 5 X Apple iMacs, with cabling and installation.  The reduction in price is in part due to the ease of installation with the advent of Snow Leopard Server. HardSoft have  been offering Leasing on IT Networks for over fifteen years  predominantly around Microsoft Small Business server 2008. Last year HardSoft introduced the first Apple Mac network following the release of Snow Leopard Server from Apple. This is now a true alternative to a Microsoft network. Though more expensive on a like for like basis the true cost of ownership becomes apparent in the long term ease of use and reliability. HardSoft can include any of the Apple Macs and the Server could be an Xserve instead.
