Solving Storage Problems with HP Storage

Posted by Lasey on August 26th, 2010

In the days of the typewriter, the biggest problem in file management came from lack of space. As paper files were stacked atop one another, huge file cabinets were required to store and preserve them for future use. Today with computers space is no longer an issue since most companies have turned to HP Storage for data safekeeping and retrieval. But still there are storage problems that need to be addressed.

Offices with multiple computers often need to share files often and individual storage makes it difficult and slow. Storing files in one computer that need to be accessed from another is a nightmare especially if the user assigns passwords and other security features. This pose a really big problem when the person in charge of the file is not around.

For this reason HP SAN was developed. Data retrieval and sharing is faster and easier. SAN stands for Storage Area Network. This means all data and files can be saved in one location but can be accessed from different areas in the work place. It’s particularly useful for email sharing and file storage for big files like videos.

Recovering lost Data

Posted by Lasey on August 13th, 2010

A virus infected our workstations and our operations came to a halt. My boss asked what was happening and I said that we were probably attacked by a virus. We tried to access our important files, but to no avail. The data on our hard disks is very important and we need those files recovered as soon as possible. We immediately called our IT department to call PC experts that specializes in recover data from hard drive Raleigh.

They said that they manage to contact someone that specializes in computer repairs and have experience in network backup solutions NC. He immediately started working on the problem and began the recovery of data. He fixed our workstations by installing software that prevents virus from entering our PC. He said that we should be more careful whenever we access files in the internet because new types of spywares and malwares tend to attack with just a click of a button. We were relieved to get our files back and made copies of them right away, in case something similar happens. This is a lesson well learned for all of us.

Innovation of Storage

Posted by Lasey on June 10th, 2010

I was able to target a project and mid-size firm that are practicing significant storage growth, the HP Storage Platform helped me to improve efficiency and simplify operations.

I have learned the modern split-path structural design of the HP Storage as well as it provides virtual volume provisioning and centrally administered storage pooling of HP and non-HP storage platforms. Thus, it enables top performance, high scalability, and high accessibility of every package resources while also carrying substantial developments to managing enterprise storage, and it well reduced costs and improving advantage utilization. By improving the application recovery via well integrated low-capacity snapshots and virtual disk group technologies, we can easily recover faster to any failures whatsoever.

Using the HP San, I have started experiencing the advantages of an innovative storage infrastructure with an effortless implementing an all-inclusive packaging. Looking back from where I have started, robust remote and local mirroring capabilities are a heck of a problem. By mitigating plans downtime, I have increased application accessibility with a centralized heterogeneous remote and local mirroring solution.

I have also improved the asset utilization with merely thin provisioning. It means that it allows an administrator the capability to condition small volumes and produce them vigorously as how the application needs it, considerably improving facility utilization, and having a low capital expenses.

Dream Come True

Posted by Lasey on June 9th, 2010

I wanted to set up some web servers at home and an FTP site as well so that when I am not at home and have some important documents needed I could still access them online. I was looking at IBM xSeries Servers for the main servers. However when I checked online for present prices of the brand new ones, I almost choked! I could not afford to buy the brand new ones for they are way over my budget. If I bought them, I would not be able to travel anymore.

I was almost willing to give it up when a friend of mine suggested checking for used xSeries servers that are for sale over the Internet. That useful information gave me hope and I immediately searched online for a store that sells used servers. I was able to find one and was happy about the low prices that they gave me that I purchased them right away. I am now waiting for the delivery of the equipment and I can’t wait to set it up. I am finally able to make my dream set up come true.

Great Service

I always wanted to find the right computer server for me. I found it very difficult to trust websites that do not seem to show anything being genuine. So I really had to ask which websites are well-trusted by majority or else I will just be another victim of a hoax.

My office mate told me about this IBM pSeries website and it helped me a lot. Not only were they very accommodating, but they had almost all kinds of servers you could think of. I was able to purchase 2 servers, the POWER5 pSeries system and the RS/6000 systems. Both are working well. The Used pSeries server website even made sure that I was aware of their non-DOA guarantee. This states that if my purchased item is not functioning, it would be replaced with a new one free of charge! When I heard about this I knew that I was in good hands.

I also wanted to get an upgrade with my system and this website also provided it. I had all of the things I need, because the company made sure that I wasn’t lacking of anything. They really work like professionals. I have never come across such great technicians! Very great service!

Help Mother Earth

Posted by Lasey on June 3rd, 2010

I love nature.  As much as possible, I would never do anything to destroy Mother Nature.  I am molded by my parents that way.  Recycle and reuse whatever you can still afford to do so and if there are things that really need to be disposed of, dispose it properly that it will not destruct the balance of nature.  In fact, I am member of a non-government organization which aims to pursue the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle).

One day while I was visiting my husband’s office, I overheard them discussing about disposing their used IBM desktops and computers.  His office is upgrading all the equipments.  Since the computers are already a decade old, even teens who cannot afford to have a refurbished computer at home are not to going to enjoy the computers.  They are literally old and outdated.

That night, I informed my husband about the company that I had just had a meeting that afternoon.  They help offices, residents and business organizations in disposing used computers, accessories and used IBM servers.  IT fractions and components can easily destruct the nature and can cause long-term effect if not disposed properly.  This company makes sure that these IT assets are disposed of properly and safely.

The following morning, my husband discussed the idea with his business associates; gave the company a call, discussed their predicament and was given a fast result.  They were assured that the used computers would be disposed according to the rules and regulations of all federal and state environmental laws.  With that simple act, Mother Nature was saved.

The Poweredge Servers Only Lasted About Seven Years

Posted by Lasey on January 5th, 2010

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.

The Used POS Equipment Looked Brand New

Posted by Lasey on January 4th, 2010

I wanted to find a good store to buy everything I needed for the front end of my boutique. I needed the latest up to date equipment to handle any form of payment from my customers. I had heard of a store across town that sold used pos equipment for a good price, but I was not sure if I should buy used stuff, I thought that it might be like buying someone else’s problems.

I decided to just check out the used point of sale equipment store because they might also have some new items, or at least they might be able to tell me where to get some new stuff. I walked in the door and thought that all of the used pos equipment looked like it was brand new. I asked them how old the stuff was and they told me that most of their inventory was what the newest models were.

They bought all the used point of sale equipment from companies, refurbish it and then resell it for a discounted price but that it all worked like it was brand new out of the box and if I ever had any problems, they would come out and service it for me.
