Largest Ever Server Install

At Resolve we are getting busier and busier - we have taken on 3 new members of staff this year alone, and our clients are asking us to get involved in larger projects - it's an exciting time for us.

One of our clients has recently decided to move to Sage 200 and CRM, they have around 150 users and this takes some quite hefty hardware to do - and so we specified and installed our largest ever single server.

We ordered a Dell Poweredge R910 (Dell's top of the range server), with 4 x 8 Core CPU's and a hefty 192GB of RAM. This will be used to power the Sage 200 and CRM software. To make the maximum use out of the client's investment we virtualized the server using VmWare ESXi, which meant that they can easily add additional servers and change resources quickly.

Dell Server

The server is installed with some existing Dell servers in the secure data centre - and it looks fantastic!

We are really pleased with the outcome, we delivered the server solution on budget, and on a very tight deadline, and it gives the client plenty of power to cope with IT changes on the horizon.
