The PowerEdge Advantage

Among the top server manufacturers in the world, including IBM and HP, Dell PowerEdge servers have captured the market for budget friendly IT solutions. This is not to say that PowerEdge servers are lacking in long-term IT viability. On the contrary, PowerEdge servers features all of the same sought-after qualities that their more expensive competitors showcase. PowerEdge servers offer entry level, mid range, and corporate level performance. Entry level PowerEdge servers are available in tower and rack units, and are typically powered by multi-cored Intel Xeon processors. Mid range and corporate level PowerEdge servers allow for huge expansions of memory and multiple processing options. With tower, rack, and blade server options, PowerEdge meets the needs of a variety of business server solutions. In addition to powerful configurations, PowerEdge servers are well known for their security and data management utilities. With an easy integration into existing server arrays, PowerEdge servers allow for a great deal of connectivity, data management, data security, and redundancy.

Why Go PowerEdge Refurbished?

While it’s true that PowerEdge servers are among the most affordable servers on the market, they are still a sizable investment for IT deployments. Opting to instead choose refurbished means additional savings, which can either stay in the budget or be repurposed to acquire an even more powerful PowerEdge. Refurbished computer hardware is such that, while it is no longer “factory new”, it has received the same rigorous testing administered by the manufacturer. Refurbished computer hardware has been tested and cleaned, and although it will most likely be used, it will function like new. When looking for a refurbished PowerEdge server, visit computer hardware dealers. Check to see that they perform the refurbishments onsite. If they do, ensure that any purchase is backed by a warranty. While your refurbished server is unlikely to be backed by Dell’s warranty, a refurbished reseller should be confident enough in their work to back it with a warranty. A refurbished PowerEdge carries the advantage of Dell’s quality and affordability, compounded by the additional savings of purchasing refurbished.

In 1890, IBM introduced the first punch card, which revolutionized the census system and spurred the science of computer engineering. In 2012 IBM is set to make the same kind of splash again.

The IBM ThinkCentre was first introduced in the early 2000’s. The original line consisted of the S50, the M50, and the A50 desktop computers. These were considered solidly average in both quality and pricing on the computer market. But since then the ThinkCenter desktop line has evolved.

The ThinkCentre Edge is the biggest and brightest star in IBM’s current line-up. It took the original ThinkCentre line, threw out anything that wasn’t working, and replaced it with the latest technology they have available. If their history is any indication, the latest technology is something just truly spectacular.

And that’s not all, IBM is on track to deliver truly remarkable innovations during the next few years. These innovations include sensory online shopping where customers can actually feel fabrics through their computers, computers that can smell possible dangers in the consumer’s environment, understanding baby talk, and computer algorithms that catalogue taste and nutrition. These amazing new ideas and technologies are the product of truly forward-thinking minds. IBM’s research team has put a lot of money and work into creating something the world has never seen before. And after all, that is what IBM has always been best at, creating something new, exciting, and useful. With a future like this ahead of them, the IBM ThinkCentre home computer is just the tip of the iceberg. But it is the tip that can be seen right now.

The IBM ThinkCentre Edge boasts an Infinity Glass Design. Infinity glass is a treated glass that eliminates the problem of glass glare. It is perfect for computers that function in a sunny room or outdoors. It is also resistant to dust build-up. The ThinkCentre Edge also has Image Ultra technology, which is all about pixels and graphic quality. With this new innovation, IBM has revolutionized the visual quality of home computers.

In addition to all of this, the ThinkCentre Edge has an Intel Pentium 4 processor, and an Access IBM button for automated solutions, onboard resources, and links to online services and updates. The chassis is pure steel and features a radical design that requires very little screws and no tools to modify. The hard drive uses a suspended caddy to keep it in place, not screws like most desktops do. This means that the ease of use is top notch and it can be modified with out heavy equipment tools.

The most exciting thing about the ThinkCentre Edge is the re-introduction of the massively popular model M keyboard. This enhanced keyboard uses swappable keycaps that sit over a buckling spring design. Typing is easier and more accessible to those you may not have been trained in the skill. Though IBM originally was the one who introduced this keyboard, the design has been copied by every keyboard manufacturer with very little change over the past twenty years. But now new innovations are being made to make the IBM home computer keyboard a truly remarkable product.

It is becoming very clear that over the IBM will make a remarkable comeback over the next few years. This is because, instead of focusing on current models, CEO Virginia M. Rometty is continuing the work of her predecessor, Lois V. Gerstner Jr. (the man responsible for turning IBM around), and looking towards the future of IBM business. Instead of focusing on current technology trends (which would have required the laying off of thousands of workers), IBM was divided into divisions to focus on future trends, rather than current ones. This strategy is what propelled the IBM home computer to the front in the form of the ThinkCentre Edge. It is also what is going to propel them into a future of smart computers with truly amazing capabilities.

Business Desktop Computers

A large scale computer deployment can be a headache unless it’s handled properly. Were you to approach the project with the intent of purchasing individual computers for your employees, you’d end up with quite a large bill and no great degree of manageability. Instead, focus on finding an affordable business desktop for large scale deployments. The Dell OptiPlex GX960 is one such computer. Optimized for business applications, the GX960 comes stocked with performance focused Intel Core 2 Quad processors with support for up to four simultaneous displays. System management is a synch for your IT professionals, and the expandability of the system ensures that, should your IT needs increase, the GX960 remains a viable computer option. Additionally, the GX960 is a secure system for your employees, minimizing the risk of data loss, data theft, etc.

On Site Server

Having a server on site boasts numerous advantages. You needn’t worry about paying a third party to host your website, your files, your email services, or your IT support. In combination with a server program such as Windows Server 2007, you can manage the entirety of your computer banks and their privileges. You can utilize redundant memory systems to back up your important business information. Having a server on site increases your degree of control over your technology and their data.

Ecommerce Solutions

If your business provides any variety of product, take your business online with an ecommerce implement. Being online is one of the best ways to bring your professional presence beyond its current geographic restrictions and into the world beyond. There is a large and potentially untapped market out there. Easy to manage ecommerce programs allow you to list stock, carry out transactions, and collect payments – all from a single computer. By hosting your ecommerce program on your server, you can ensure a site which is live at all times, gathering more traffic and more business. One such program is Magento, a popular program which offers a free Community Edition for startup companies. By implementing three technologies like the OptiPlex GX960, an on-site server, or an ecommerce platform, you will be able to manage your business on a new and engaging level.

That doesn’t have to be the case. Magnetic hard drives, those used mostly in computers and servers, are great for writing and overwriting data, but that does come with a downside. Magnetic storage is always subject to the eventual loss of data/data corruption that comes with any magnetic medium’s aging. Remember your favorite cassette from back in the 80s? Even though you took good care of it, that tape may have just deteriorated to the point where it’s largely static. When you need storage which will hold and sustain data for decades, optical storage is a much better option. Plasmon optical libraries depend on Ultra Density Optical storage technology, which can hold data for over 50 years without corruptions or losses.

Still, optical libraries are slowly being passed over for magnetic hard drives. The key factor in deciding between the two often comes down to speed. As a rule, magnetic drives run faster than their optical counterparts. This is the nature of the respective media, but there are ways to minimize the disadvantage of optical storage while maximizing on the benefits of optical storage. The first step is having an optical jukebox.

An optical Plasmon jukebox serves to automatically change UDO storage devices as the demands on the system change. There are options to do this manually, but oftentimes this is time-consuming and inefficient. Instead, an optical jukebox can automatically locate, transfer, and exchange UDO storage at a moment’s notice. This is one part where optical storage slows down, but it is much faster than the manual method.

One of the biggest ways to streamline the process and maximize on efficiency is to get a system which has more than one Plasmon jukebox drive. The jukebox can speed things up quite a bit, but if multiple transfers need to happen and you have only one optical drive, you’ll be stuck waiting for a series of exchanges. Getting more than one drive in place ensure that the jukebox can load UDO to more than one place at a time. By doing this, you can speed up the performance of your optical library without sacrificing the benefits of optical storage.

Some might say that the processor is the most important part of the computer, but the controversy is a bit of a moot point. It’s much like arguing whether the heart or the brain is the most important organ in the body. The processor is more akin to the brain – it carries out all of the information processing, number crunching, etc. In many ways, it is doing all of the “thinking” for the computer. But, the motherboard is like the heart of your computer. It’s a central hub for every other component, and each part relies on the motherboard for communication. You might even call it the computer’s nervous system. The motherboard conducts all of the electrical signals on its printed circuitry. Today, many motherboards are integrated with processors.

Motherboards are a central part of any computer, and as a consequence are often an expensive piece of equipment. The relatively high price of a motherboard is not without merit, however. Motherboards require a complicated manufacturing process because of its extensive interfacing/electrical capabilities. Because the motherboard and processor are so closely related in their function, motherboards are most often developed side-by-side with the processor manufacturer. The motherboard must also be planned to accommodate current and upcoming technological releases, from hard drives to video cards. While you might think that circuit board manufacturing is something turned out on a production line by swinging robot arms, the truth involves a much larger human factor. While the board is printed with circuitry by machine, people are the ones who perform a large deal of the soldering and joining of components.

The Narra6 Motherboard

If you’re looking for a great motherboard to start off your new computer’s build, you might want to consider the Narra6 motherboard. This board is a great and cost-effective solution which offers a good range of upper level technology. Here are some of the important specifications.

Form Factor: Micro-ATX: 24.5 cm (9.6 inches) x 24.5 cm (9.6 inches)

Chipset: NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Front-side Bus Speed: 2000MT/s (2.0 GT/s), HyperTransport 1.0 based on the NVIDIA GeForce chipset requirements

Ports: VGA, 4 USB, RJ45 Network (LAN), Audio Line-In, Front Speaker/Line out, Microphone in

Looking to Buy

Because motherboards are a costly investment, many people choose instead to purchase refurbished motherboards. If you’re going to buy a M2N68-LA Narra6 Motherboard, purchase refurbished from a trusted seller who performs their own refurbishments. They will guarantee their work and offer a great warranty on all of their refurbished items.
