Server Solutions

Server technology is constantly evolving so choosing the correct solution or product for your business is important. We can help you quantify the correct server and relevant options for your web, email, file and key business application servers. SGT have been supplying HP servers to the UK business market for nearly ten years. HP offer the processing power and functionality to fit into any IT infrastructure at varying levels. Servers can be pre built to your specific configuration prior to shipping. We are an HP Preferred Partner 2008 and a Selected Distribution partner and are accredited to sell, build and install the following range of HP Servers.
 
When deciding which server is right for your environment, these features are important considerations:

• Assess hard disk space needs by evaluating how much data you have now and how much data you create monthly. Consider a server that allows you to add additional drives as your needs change. Consider whether you are going to be adding to a SAN environment and whether that server will be running virtual machines.
• Software manufacturers will list “required” and “recommended” memory. When possible, buy enough memory to support the recommended amount for each application.
• If your server will be used in a mission-critical environment you will need to support at least RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) Level 1 which writes data across two or more drives so data is not lost if any drive on the system fails.
• Simplify server management with tools such as HP Insight Manger, Integrated Lights-Out, SmartStart, and ProLiant Essentials.
• HP's pre-failure warranty, standard on all HP ProLiant 300 servers and above, extends HP's standard one or three-year warranty to cover critical components like memory before they actually fail.

Recent Advances in Technology
Hyper-Threading technology available on Intel Xeon processors makes a single processor look like two processors to the operating system, making twice as many resources available to service threads.
HP offers three levels of Advanced Memory Protection that provide increased fault tolerance for applications requiring higher levels of availability.
Online Spare Memory: Protects against single-bit errors and entire DRAM failure by reserving some memory as “spare”
Hot Plug Mirrored Memory: Provides full protection against single-bit and multi-bit errors by writing the same data to two sets of memory but only actively using one.
Hot Plug RAID Memory: Allows the memory subsystem to operate continuously, even in the event of a complete memory device failure.
