PCs and Servers

One of the key requirements companies will demand from a network is speed. To ensure that the optimum speed is obtained from the network it is essential that the system has a good ‘backbone’, which includes the cabling configuration and the server. It is therefore critical that the server is carefully specified to ensure that it has the capability to cope with the demands placed on it by applications and users. If the server is incorrectly specified problems may be experienced with applications, especially in mission critical environments.

DCS's range of powerful network servers forms the basis of hardware production. The use of dual and quad Pentium Xeon processors, together with multiple SCSI hard drives, produces fast and reliable platform machines. With client security foremost in DCS philosophy, RAID configuration of multiple hard drives provides our customers with added protection in a demanding business environment.

At the design stage DCS will consult with its client to establish the specification required for the server to run intensive and critical applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Small Business Server, Microsoft Exchange Server, Veritas Backup Exec and Antivirus Multi-Tier Protection. Consideration will also be given to:

• Number of users
• Access
• Security
• Applications
• Scalability
• High availability options
• Multiple servers
• Expandability
