Hardware

Cost

Hardware was once a major part of most companies IT budget. As the IT sector has grown and evolved the price of hardware has reduced. This has allowed small to medium sized businesses to invest in smart IT solutions that support their growing businesses.

Owning the correct hardware does not necessarily enable the correct IT solution for a business. Hardware is only valuable if installed and configured correctly. It is important that your hardware maximises its functionality to your business ensuring its cost effectiveness.

Configuration

Lugo believes strongly in businesses maintaining the warranties of their hardware. Experience has shown us that it is often the most cost effective and efficient way to maintain your hardware. Warranties can cost as little as £0.50 per day and eradicate the risk of a large unexpected IT bill. Lugo advises their customers on the correct hardware, installs and configures it to their needs and liaises with the supplier if there are any problems. The cost of this is included in Lugo's fixed price support contract. This service provides the optimum efficiency for our clients and minimises the disruption of hardware failures.

Reliability

The reliability of the hardware is imperative, even if you may have the hardware warrantied. The warranty is your insurance but the downtime caused by hardware failure itself can mount up. Please have a look at our downtime calculator to work out the cost of downtime to you.
