Desktop & Servers
Desktops and Servers for your Office Setup
Desktops and servers are computing devices one is more used to see in offices and large establishments. These computing devices unlike portable devices are customizable and scalable. Scalability is a feature that allows your system to be upgraded with change in technology. Upgradability and scalability are unique features of desktop and servers. Another vital characteristic of servers and desktops is their availability.
Computers in an office environment are supposed to run for extended hours without interruption. Robust architecture, resistance to environmental changes and versatile applications are salient features of a desktop. Apple, Dell, Acer, and HP are some of the leading manufacturers of desktop computing systems. At Framt.com you would get your choicest desktop and servers.
Desktop Computer
A typical desktop system would feature an Intel or Athlon processor running a t 1.2 GHz or more, at least 2 GB RAM, and 1 TB of storage device. As these systems are customizable these capacities could be changed according to your requirement. Keyboard and display devices are external and also bought as per choice.

Servers
Servers are high availability computing devices with extremely high availability and reliability features. These are supposed to function 24 hours a day and seven days a week without faltering. For this reason servers are always provided with redundant processors, power supplies, and storage devices. Servers in a networking environment are used as file servers, print servers, or web servers. At tomes their applications are critical and cannot off line for a single second. Such critical applications are 24 hour banking services, search engines, online booking services, and telecommunications. Depending on technology these servers could be classified onto CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) and RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing). In CISC servers, software is independent of hardware whereas in RISC systems it is an integral part of system architecture.
