2010 has so far been a busy year at PDQ Computers and we continue to make progress with our planned improvements to both services and infrastructure.

In addition to these developments we are delighted to welcome Don Parker and Mario Smith as new members to the PDQ team.

HP ProLiant Servers

At a time when there is an ever increasing amount of Government Legislation to insure a business’ minimum impact on the environment and businesses are expected to have a “Green Policy” HP have met the challenge by introducing their ProLiant G6 servers and are now set to release their G7 servers this month.

The ProLiant G7 Servers are built for energy savings and include HP Thermal Logic Technologies to reduce power consumption by as much as 96%. Power savings are achieved through a combination of innovative energy-saving features which monitor and optimize the power consumption of the server and it’s components.

HP believes the operational efficiencies in the servers mean they will pay for themselves in as little as two months. As an HP Preferred Partner PDQ Computers are ideally positioned to supply these state-of-the-art servers to you and help reduce your environmental impact.

Don Parker

We are very pleased to welcome Don Parker to the internal service management team. Don brings a wealth of experience with him having worked in the industry for over 20 years in all areas of IT support.

Mario Smith

PDQ are also delighted to welcome Mario to the field service team as a support engineer. Mario is an MCSE, CNA and VMware technician with over 18 years of IT support experience.

Despite the "Big Freeze" across the South-East in January, PDQ Computers have made significant progress with the implementation of new and improved services planned for the year. Following the launch of the new web-site at the end of 2009, development has continued on the back end to integrate the site with our service systems to provide clients with an improved service delivery. Throughout 2010 PDQ Computers plan to improve and develop our service offering. Please contact your Account Manager for any IT requirement that you have and keep an eye on the website.

Infrastructure Improvements

New infrastructure improvements have been made providing PDQ with fibre connectivity and making uncontested symmetrical dedicated pipes available to clients with speeds of up to 100 Mb. These improved communications greatly enhance our business continuity and hosting services.

Hardware

We would like to remind you that we have many manufacturers’ accreditations and partnerships including HP Preferred Partner status and Cisco partner status. Through these partnerships we benefit from special pricing and vendor support. For any Hardware requirement please contact your PDQ Account Manager or visit the Current Deals page, passing on special offers which we receive from vendors and distributors.

MessageLabs

Symantec Hosted Services have launched a new suite of product bundles this week to meet demand for hosted email management and comprehensive threat protection services. Please contact your PDQ Account Manager for more information and to take advantage of the promotional pricing of these bundles.

The New PDQ Computers Website is Launched

Default admin account — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 09:04:17 +0100

PDQ Computers are proud to announce the launch of our new Website. We hope that you enjoy the fresh new look and benefit from the increased functionality. During the remainder of 2009 and the first quarter of 2010 we will introduce unique logins for those customers who require access to service history, retainer statements and the status of open calls.

We have also created a "Current Deals" area within our Hardware Supply pages so that our clients can benefit from our partnerships with manufacturers and vendors. This service will be enhanced by quick delivery and the personal approach which you have come to expect from PDQ Computers.

We hope that the new website provides you with a useful portal to improve the unique approach to service delivery that you already enjoy from PDQ, and would greatly welcome your feedback regarding the site and the services which we provide. We will keep you updated with developments and offers on the Website along with our "Current Deals" with our regular newsletters.

The new website has been developed with Enovate Design, our chosen web design partner, and is built upon a content management system so PDQ Computers have a solid foundation upon which to expand and grow the website.
