"You’ll never forget your first"

Posted by Emma Hitzke on Jul 14, 2009 12:51:53 PM

     Your first server, that is. There’s nothing like a real server to help your business become more competitive. While some small businesses can get away with using a desktop as a server, there’s really no substitute for the real thing. With the ability to more efficiently handle more users, accommodate the latest applications, and deliver greater reliability, having a real server will make all the difference.

     Aren’t you ready for the real thing? A server built on an Intel® Xeon® processor has a lot to offer your business, so be prepared for dramatic performance and productivity improvement. If you want to be able to handle the demands of more customers, more data and more staff, an Intel Xeon processor based server is the way to go. 

Can you afford downtime? Of course not! Maximize business uptime with technology that’s ready to work all day, every day.  And protect your critical digital assets with error correcting memory and support for RAID storage.

    

     And just to build the IT excitement for your first server, check out this animation to see what a real server can do for your business:

 

 

 

     So, if you’re flirting with transitioning to a real server, I would just advise that you make sure that your first really is the best.  Talk to your IT solutions provider [ http://premierlocator.intel.com/] about implementing an Intel Xeon processor-based server. And remember, once you go Xeon, you’ll never go back!

My first server was a 80286/12Mhz and I ran 8 terminals off it under Sco Xenix. Can't remember the RAM, but was probably 4MB.

 

I ran office automation (WP, Spreadsheets, DB) and a multi-user suite of accounts, all on 80x40 dumb tubes.

 

why woudl anyone ever need any more power?

 

Oh yes - Microsoft Windows!
