Direct IT Inc.

Description

One thing that makes Direct iT different from many of the managed services and IT companies out there is that we develop a number of our own products, while most companies only depend on and sell products from third parties. Our products focus on the needs of our customers, primarily small and midsize businesses. Often, we take best-practices and good ideas from enterprise products that are not available or much too expensive for small businesses, and make similar technologies available to small businesses at a fraction of the price.

Direct iT is an authorized reseller of Office 365™, Microsoft's new cloud-based email hosting system. Office 365™ brings you the features of Microsoft Exchange without the headaches of hosting your own.

One welcome impact the floods have had on the market is that SSDs (Solid State Drives) have become more and more price-competitive with hard drives, as SSD prices have fallen while hard drive prices increased. SSDs work much like a hard drive but have no moving parts, produce much less heat, use much less power — however, SSDs are new technology, while hard drives have been a tried-and-true staple of computing for over 50 years.

The name Juniper is synonymous with network security. Direct iT has extensive experience working with Netscreen and Juniper firewalls and has found them to be one of the most rock-solid solutions in the small business space.

Western Digital and Seagate, two of the largest hard disk manufacturers, have been severely impacted by the floods and have not yet been able to give solid estimates of when they will have their drive factories back online. Floodwaters are continuing to rise in Bangkok, although water levels have already begun receding upriver. Hard drives have not typically been a large factor in computer prices in recent years, but we can expect to see most workstation and server prices increasing by at least $100 until the factories are restored to full production and prices begin to fall again.
