Legacy
Prodec Networks specialise in providing legacy kit that keeps some of the most essential
systems running. Furthermore, Prodec offers independent computer maintenance, and a
range of services for legacy servers, storage and network infrastructures.
Most manufacturers now consider hardware out of date within three years, but in truth, some of the most
critical business applications in our world today, are running on hardware that could be twenty years old or
more.
The world of technology may have advanced at the desktop and mobile level but the core information
that Banks, Insurance, Health service and Government rely on, is often, still delivered on software platforms
decades old. The implemented software and applications are not compatible with modern technology,
and such projects can be years from conception to implementation.
Replacing legacy applications and systems with new systems based on different technologies is one the
most significant challenges faced today. As enterprises upgrade or change their technologies, they must
ensure compatibility with old systems and data formats that are still in use. Obsolete computer systems may
still be in use because its data cannot be changed to newer or standard formats, or its application
programs cannot be upgraded. An information system that may be based on outdated technologies, but is
critical in day-to-day operations.
Provisioning for the continuing support of these legacy systems by cost-effective computer maintenance
and support solutions is essential for the ongoing delivery of business efficiencies and performance from
these business critical systems.
Prodec Networks has extensive knowledge of the HP legacy product set, as well as the ability to refurbish
this equipment, ensures that any older kit is enhanced, or is replaced as required. Older servers such as DEC
Vaxes, Compaq Alpha’s and HP 9000 range are still in use – and often sourcing the associated hardware is
time consuming and costly. Prodec Networks has stock of memory, motherboards, daughter boards, power
supplies to keep your systems running.
