Deployment support for the infrastructure your business depends on.

Plan your next infrastructure project with focused support for server installation, data backup and network configuration. Whether you are introducing pre-owned enterprise hardware or expanding an existing setup, share your equipment models, business applications and deployment requirements so the scope can be reviewed before work begins.

Server installation for new and pre-owned hardware

A server installation starts with understanding the workload and the hardware it will run on. Discuss rack space, power connections, processor and memory requirements, storage layout and network connectivity. For Dell and HPE server projects, provide the exact model and configuration so compatibility can be reviewed. Installation enquiries can cover rack and hardware setup, initial system configuration and deployment handover; the final scope is confirmed in your quotation.

Data backup planning and recovery readiness

A useful backup plan starts with identifying the files, applications and business systems that need protection. Tell us how much data you hold, how frequently it changes and how long it must be retained. Discuss backup schedules, storage capacity, access permissions and recovery priorities as part of the requirement review. Confirm whether restore testing, software licences, backup storage and ongoing monitoring are included in the agreed service scope.

LTO tape drive backup and archiving solutions

Plan an LTO tape backup solution for business data protection and long-term archiving. Share your data volume, backup window, retention period and recovery requirements so the drive, media and software requirements can be reviewed together. Enquiries can cover standalone tape drives or tape library integration, depending on the agreed project scope.

Provide the exact tape drive model, LTO generation, host interface, operating system and backup software. Drive and cartridge compatibility must be checked for the selected generation; not every LTO drive supports every tape format. Discuss media rotation, offline storage procedures, cleaning requirements and a test restore as part of deployment planning. Hardware, cartridges, software licences and ongoing support are confirmed separately in the quotation.

Network configuration for switches, routers and access points

Network changes should account for the devices and applications already in use. Share your switch, router and wireless access point models, internet connections and any existing network diagram. Configuration enquiries can include switch and router setup, network segmentation and connectivity verification. For Cisco switch or wireless projects, include the current configuration requirements and available licences so the proposed work can be assessed.

What information is needed for a service quotation?

Include your equipment models, quantities, current setup, project location and preferred schedule. Describe the outcome you need, any existing issues and the maintenance window available for changes. This helps define the installation tasks, compatibility checks and handover requirements before a quotation is prepared.

Can pre-owned hardware be included in a deployment?

Pre-Owned enterprise hardware can be considered as part of your installation enquiry. Suitability depends on the exact model, configuration, condition, software support and application requirements. Confirm these details alongside any hardware warranty and installation terms before proceeding.

Are hardware, licences and ongoing support included?

Inclusions depend on the quotation and agreed scope. Ask for separate confirmation of hardware, software licences, cabling, backup storage, installation work and any ongoing support. This gives your team a clear basis for planning the project and its operating costs.
