Server problems...

Installing traditional server systems have a large number of drawbacks for clients who do not have conditioned server rooms, on-site tech support personnel, and high speed (redundant) internet access. The large manufacturers (you know who they are), hide behind 1-800 #'s 4 tiers deep, offshore tech support, and their systems are filled with cheap plastic fans and mechanical hard drives. Maybe the warranty is good, but using it every year really sucks.

In the age of cloud computing, if you're going to be running your entire operation off the cloud, you absolutely need to have redundant internet access. If you don't, what's the point of all the redundancy in the world in the datacenter, you're still down and offline if your ISP is out.

Most clients don't have conditioned server rooms, on-site tech support personnel (to, at best, call Dell), and high-speed internet access.

What they need is rugged computing to host their applications locally, with higher grade components.

Simply put, NON-Rugged computing costs you alot more than Rugged Computing in total cost of ownership.

Three years ago, IDC produced a study that explained exactly this. Here's the link

After 15 years and countless hours of windshield time driving to remote locations, replacing fans and mechanical hard drives in traditional server systems, we decided a new type of modular and rugged server system had to be developed. Aertight built the Aertight Server Platform with that in mind.

We realized that clients needed rugged, all-in-one server solutions that could be left in remote locations to host applications, run historians, store and forward data, and be as maintenance free as possible.
