We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new website! We loved our old website, but we felt like it was time for an upgrade!

Our old website has been hugely successful over the last four years, however our new website allows us to be much more flexible with our pricing, enhances the user experience, features tonnes of new content and has a completely restructured navigation.

We are extremely excited to announce that Intelligent Servers has been named a finalist in the DCS Awards for Data Centre Upgrade/Refresh Project of the Year! Find out more about the DCS Awards, why we've been nominated and how you can vote for us to win in this blog post!

On Friday 2^nd October, Intelligent Servers had two teams take part in the Harrogate Business Golf Day at Oakdale Golf Club organised by Impulse Decisions and raising money for Harrogate Candlelighters and Variety Yorkshire.

We are pleased to announce that the Intelligent Brokerage Group is now an ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO27001 certified company!

This is an important milestone for Intelligent Brokerage. This certification demonstrates our rigorous quality standards and commitment to continuously improve our business processes. Quality hardware and an exceptional customer experience remain our highest priority and we are proud to say that we excel at both. This is reflected in our repeat business and high customer satisfaction ratings.

An IT Manager who works for a multi-academy trust responsible for the IT infrastructure of six schools approached Intelligent Servers when he was tasked with a large infrastructure overhaul project. The project included replacing the entire fibre and copper Network Switch infrastructure as well as upgrading all of the current Server infrastructure.

We have all heard the horror stories of simple mistakes that lead to costly business disasters. Having an IT disaster recovery plan is a critical business need to prevent serious financial impact, loss of customer confidence or damage to a company’s reputation. From IT hardware failure, human error to natural disasters, planning for the unknown can be difficult, but having enough funds to implement an IT disaster recovery plan can seem close to impossible.

We’re hearing more and more, as COVID rattles on, from IT Managers that we sell our products and solutions to that they expect; and have already had their budgets; slashed by up to 90% over the next 12-18 months whilst the business focuses on stopping the haemorrhage of cash and somewhat regaining control of cash flow. Existing projects have been cancelled and new products have been put on the back burner. 

As the coronavirus lockdown in March 2020 led to a surge in video calls, video conferencing companies around the world urgently required more data centre infrastructure and bandwidth to deal with the influx of conference calls. This is where the quality, speed and technical knowledge of Intelligent Servers benefited one video conferencing company that urgently required more network capacity to support new users.

At Intelligent Brokerage, the safety and well-being of our employees and customers is our top priority and we recognise the important role we play in providing IT solutions to businesses during this critical time. We are actively monitoring the Coronavirus situation and taking steps to keep employees safe whilst minimising disruption to the supply of our products and services. We wanted to share some of the steps in our Continuity Plan with you to ensure your peace of mind whilst working with us in these turbulent times.

Data is fundamentally changing the way companies do business, driving demand for data scientists and increasing the complexity in their workflows. Getting the performance required to transform massive amounts of data into insights is what one Swedish Research company was looking for when they came to Intelligent Servers.
