This Month in IT History
In November of 1984, at the ripe age of 19 Michael Dell had a vision about how technology should be designed, he founded PC’s Limited with $1000 and an idea. By 1985, the Turbo PC was developed, featuring an Intel 8088 processor running at 9MHz, a 10MB hard drive and a 5.25″ floppy drive. In order to stand out in the market the company gave customers risk-free returns and next-day, at-home product assistance, the company was among the first in the industry for that kind of service. In 1988 Dell completes its initial public offering, raising $30 million and increasing market capitalization from $1000 to $85 million after only 4 years. Today, Dell is an American multinational information technology corporation, listed at number 41 in the Fortune 500 list.

MONTHLY ELECTRONIC DEAL
Each month we will supply you with a product that we believe is a great deal and may suit your business or personal needs. This is an opportunity for you to save time and energy shopping around for what’s best at the best price, because we have done it for you!
Server UPS
Server UPS is an important element to your IT infrastructure, if there is a power outage the UPS allows for your server to properly shutdown. If your UPS is over three years the warranty will be expired and the battery will need replacing soon. It becomes more cost effective to buy a new UPS under warranty. This UPS is a great deal right now, and it is always a good time to be proactive with your IT infrastructure.
Price: $545.00
