Procurement

Our experience will help you match your needs and budget with the hardware and vendor that best suits you. We have assisted in the procurement of more than one million dollars worth of gear, for clients and budgets both large and small.

OEM providers often produce excellent products, but the thin profits margins in the business require that they typically attempt to include highly-priced, generally unneccessary 'doo-dads' in their configures to increase their profits. Our experience allows us to spend the computing budget with an eye towards those areas that most benefit from increased expense, while being able to avoid over-spending on infrastructure that can be more economically provided in other ways.

Conversely, white-box vendors are all too happy to drop a load of low-cost gear on your doorstep but they don't typically have the expertise to insure that you get hardware that will be able to do what you require of it. We can make the most of the cost-effective solutions that most white-box vendors can provide, while applying our hard-earned knowlegde to make sure that the equipment purchased is robust enough to tackle the most challenging applications.
