Simple, surprisingly affordable, and unquestionably reliable server-based solutions

Typical server-based network

Servers act as a central location for sharing and administering information, devices, and applications on a network. The most common client-server network arrangement involves a central hub or switch that directs traffic between client workstations and the server.

Tower server solutions:

A basic server network provides small and medium-sized businesses capabilities like access to data, printers, e-mail, and applications. It also gives a lot more users access to shared resources, at speeds much faster then when using networked PCs. It's easier to monitor and maintain your network because everything is managed centrally and servers are less susceptible to attack than interconnected PCs.�
Consider an HP server network for these incremental benefits relative to a peer-to-peer network:
•  Reduce overhead cost with simple and cost-effective setup and administration
•  Mitigate business risks with superior reliability and improved data protection
•  Accelerate growth with enhanced productivity resulting from efficient and dependable resource access
If you already operate a server network, there are a number of reasons why you may wish to consider refreshing or expanding it with the capabilities of new or additional servers.� HP server solutions can help:
•  Increase performance and availability
•  Migrate from older systems
•  Cope with increased workload
