Xylo, the local brand division of SDD, has announced the addition of a comprehensive range of servers based on Intel technologies. The new Xylo server range will span the server market with 1U, through to 7U rack mount and pedestal models.
"To compete in the modern Internet economy, companies need to operate 24x7 with blazing speed. Hardware that offers performance, scalability, and excellent fault tolerance are baseline requirements to achieve the competitive-edge. Xylo can now offer customers a range of hardware that meets and exceeds these expectations," says Mark Forbes, Xylo brand manager at SDD.
According to Warren Richardson, Xylo server product manager at SDD, Xylo has been appointed an Intel Premier Provider. The Intel Premier Provider program represents Intel`s highest accreditation for its channel partners. "The program is designed to promote an enhanced relationship between Intel and solution providers who belong to the Intel e-Business Network. Premier Providers must meet certain standards set by Intel, including standards of service, support, training and certification," explains Richardson.
"We had decided to augment our range by offering full Intel-based server solutions. Xylo now offers across-the-board solutions from laptops and desktops to servers," says Forbes. All Xylo machines are manufactured at SDD`s high-tech ISO 9002 certified assembly plant in Midrand, and can be customised to client specifications.
"Servers are the foundation of the Internet economy and Xylo servers, based on Intel technologies, offer the client a complete server solution," concludes Forbes.
