Servers

Unix servers

Pricing for computer hardware is highly volatile, but a typical example would be:

• AMD A-series 64-bit multicore CPU
• 2TB SSD storage
• 16GB RAM
• Gigabit LAN
• 64-bit unix operating system
• 90 days cloud backup included

TSP: £1,495 including delivery, installation and 90 days on-site support

Unix is a much more stable platform than Windows for servers.  It has a far lower footprint, and thus the required hardware costs significantly less.  The TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of Unix as a server platform is a fraction that of Windows.

With a Unix-based domain controller your Windows desktop PCs will behave exactly as if they were joined to a Windows server.

Windows servers

We can also supply Microsoft Windows servers, although the hardware requirements and licencing costs will make this a more expensive option. Typically we would supply a Windows server with 32GB RAM rather than 16GB, and a larger SSD to hold the operating system (with all user data held on RAID mirrored SSDs).

Price for a Windows server will be on application, but a typical system will be around £2,995 including delivery, installation and 90 days support.

All hardware is guaranteed for 12 months.

Rackmount servers

Squirrel Solutions Ltd is able to supply servers in a rackmount form factor. Primarily used for co-location in datacentres, these servers will be fitted into a 1U rackmount case and provided with additional cooling. Please note that a maximum of 3 hard drives can be fitted in a 1U case, however we would recommend the use of enterprise-grade SSDs in this application.

Prices on application, however a typical unix-based 1U rackmount server will be around £1,995 including delivery to a datacentre of your choice.

We can also supply your office server in a 4U case if required, enabling it to be installed in your existing rack for, eg, telecoms and cabling.
