Igaware lowers the cost of IT ownership

Most IT systems depend on computer technicians as much as toddlers depend on parents. To remain secure and operational, systems need updating, upgrading, patching, configuring, supporting and repairing. The result is that ongoing maintenance costs often far exceed the initial purchase price.

Running costs can amount to 80% of the total ownership costs for an IT solution, so it's no surprise many find systems maintenance a costly headache. Some even ignore it!

But there is an alternative - Igaware.

Igaware network appliances can look after themselves, rather like grown ups. This delivers a major advantage; the time and money you instantly save.

There are other advantages as well:

Reduced Complexity (Unification)
A single Igaware appliance can replace multiple servers, simplifying your infrastructure and cutting costs even further.

Ease of Use
Igaware appliances are administered through a web interface that you can access locally on your network or remotely. Tasks such as adding new users are as easy as browsing the web. If you wish, you can choose a level of service where any changes are done for you.

Security
Patching and updating software is an important part of keeping systems secure against new viruses and other threats. But these tasks involve costly technical expertise and downtime (systems often need to be rebooted). Such is the cost and the hassle that these tasks are easily ignored or undertaken infrequently. And this is the one weak spot every threat exploits.

Igaware appliances automatically update against new threats as they emerge. New viruses for example, emerge every week, some are very malicious and require instant action. Igaware appliances react within minutes, automatically downloading and installing security updates so you are always protected. This automated and timely approach helps you avoid the downtime, costs and legal implications of a security breach. Igaware appliances never need to be rebooted so there is no disruption as updates are applied.

Monitoring & Support
Downtime can have a major impact on your business, especially if the Internet and email is key to your business operations. Igaware appliances are monitored to provide a 'heads up' to issues that could develop into something more serious. Hard disk space, memory usage and system performance are all monitored. This proactive approach means action can be taken well before it impacts on your business.

Igaware appliances enjoy up-times of years, not days, weeks or months.

Latest Technologies
Igaware have a continuous development program to deliver new features and functionality. Updates are automatically released and installed every few days. Your Igaware appliance is always running the latest software so there's no need to 'upgrade' it every few years.

An IT solution based on Igaware will save you time and money.

"We expected a more efficient, compact server with an easier to use front-end in terms of user management. This is exactly what we got.

Igaware has been 100% reliable and certainly far easier to use in terms of network & user management than our previous Windows server." Paul McIntosh - Woodholmes Group
