<br>
Real solutions for your business. Since 1988, VSPL have earned an enviable reputation
developing real solutions for real businesses. From a simple desktop solution
through mainframe class platforms, VSPL have the experience and accreditation
to implement the right solution for you within your ever tightening budget and
inside your ever tightening schedule.</font>
<p>We have a long and distinguished record providing solutions to customers in
industry or government sectors where there are no second chances.</p>
<p>For example, providing an unusual and highly demanding race and test telemetry
solution to a leading Formula 1 team. Working closely with the client's engineers
and software personnel, the prototype of this system was delivered and shown
to work in just six weeks from first contact with the customer. Since being
rolled out in 2000, our solution of rugged racks of equipment has performed
with unprecedented reliability for the customer, despite the rigours of constant
worldwide shipping and handling due to a radical and unique upgrade and maintenance
procedure that is a first for the industry.</p>
<p>Leading industry product brands represented include HP/Compaq and Sun, with
whom we have more than 15 years experience, Microsoft, Advanced Computer &
Network Corporation (AC&NC) and many more. </p>
<p>Working at project level, we provide solutions to information technology problems.
The commodity supply of 'boxes' conversely frequently creates more problems
for the customer than it solves. We also believe that the customer needs to
talk it over with a representative who actually has real world technical experience
in implementing complex IT solutions rather than a professional salesman who
knows little about the products beyond what is written in marketing literature.
"Right first time" is our mantra for all our customers and we're sure
you will appreciate the diffterence.</p>
<p>We are pleased to provide a fresh and professional package in the supply of
corporate solutions based on high end workstations and servers.</p>
<p>Many of our customers use as a 'preferred' supplier on key projects where our
track record of getting-it-right really matters.<br>
<br>
Products that, combined with our unique experience, offer Real solutions for
your business. We are pleased to represent many of the worlds blue chip manufacturers
as a reseller in addition to distributing exceptional products like the industry
leading Jetstor RAID storage solutions from Advanced Computer & Network
Corporation (AC&NC) and manufacturing our own components for customer's
special projects.</p>
<p>Brands represented include HP/Compaq and Sun, both of whom we have had a formal
relationship with for more than 15 years, Microsoft -and many more. We are pleased
to provide a fresh and professional approach to the supply of corporate solutions
based on high end workstations and servers. By working with you to establish
the exact specification and minimise costs.</p>
<p>We are an acknowleged partner with HP for High Performance Technical Computing
(HPTC), with over 15 years experience of the supply of solutions to the UK Government
and Scientific marketplace. When a UK based Formula 1 team approached HP/Compaq
for a unique HPTC solution, it was VSPL who HP/Compaq chose to work with the
customer and deliver the ruggedised rackmount solution.</p>
<p>We are also very experienced in the supply, maintenance and repair of legacy
systems and devices from manufacturers like Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC)
and their PDP, VAX / VMS, Alpha and DMCC platforms. Don't pay manufacturers
prices for legacy parts. Contact us with your requirements. With a wealth of
experience of legacy systems dating back to the mid '70s and access to a vast
array of parts no longer available from the manufacturers, the many customers
who still use these legacy systems can find the expertise they need at a price
they can afford.<br>
<br>
VSPL have unmatched experience in the supply of rackmount computing solutions
dating back to the times of legacy systems where almost everything was rackmounted
by default.</p>
<p>Whether you simply want to rackmount some 1U, 2U or 3U Intel servers in a 19"
rack and have baulked at the costs of the rackmount kits or require a complete
rugged or semi ruggedised transportable rack solution, we can help.</p>
<p>In the case of rackmount servers, the costs of the servers has continually
reduced, whilst the rackmount hardware has often stayed expensive. By using
our unique generic mounting hardware, we can securely rackmount your vanilla
or blue-chip servers at a cost much lower than expected. We can also supply
OEM quality racks at low cost and help you optimise cooling and power too.</p>
<p>Maybe you have a requirement to have a complete shock-mounted solution that
is mobile or can be used in a vehicle, ship or submarine? VSPL have supplied
these kinds of solutions for years and have a reputation for tough, innovative
solutions whilst retaining economy of cost. By drawing on our expertise you'll
save time and money and be sure of a solution that will stay working despite
a rough schedule.</p>
<p>Many organisations already appreciate our experience at mounting unusual or
non-standard components into 19" racks. We also have a range of unusual
rackmount Intel x86 platforms that we supply including ones with more than 10
ISA or PCI slots for users requiring lots of legacy adapters, eg: process control.</p>
<p>When a UK Formula 1 team required a ruggedised telemetry and data processing
solution to take round the world each year, VSPL built it and continue to maintain
it to this day. Where other vendors proposed tilting screens held by wire stays,
we engineered a unique and innovative pushbutton adjustable gas strut system
that was a first for the industry and much safer. To date, of the two dozen
40U racks of equipment, no failures have prevented the equipment from doing
it's job -despite a punishing year-round schedule and even once being dropped
6 feet off the back of truck on to unforgiving concrete by airline cargo handlers!
In Formula 1 motorsport, as in military applications, there can be no compromises.
Let us bring that experience to your project.</p>
<p>Legacy systems we are more than happy to help with with include:</p>
<p>Sun Microsystems entire legacy catalogue, Silicon Graphics (SGI) legacy systems
and servers, Compaq ProLiant Series including disks, RAID storage adapters,
memory SIMMS and DIMMS, upgrades and rackmount kits. DEC PDP and VAX Series,
MicroVAX, VAX 4000, VAX 6000, VAX 7000, VAXclusters including CI and DSSI variants,
VAX Memory upgrades and repairs, VAXstation and DECstation legacy workstations,
HSC 40, 50, 70 Storage Controllers, StorageWorks range, RA Series Disks, RF
Series DSSI disks, TA Series 9600 BPI 9 Track Tape Devices and Cypher M Series
Equivalents, AlphaStations, AlphaServers, TruClusters, legacy rackmount adapters
and much more...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Please do contact us regarding any requirement you may have. We're confident
that you'll appreciate the difference.<br>
