Need a server? Call us: Universe Direct

A server is designed to manage, store, send information and process data at all times. A server operates 24 hours a day and is extremely reliable compared to a desktop computer.

Servers not only help your business with data storage, but they will also improve efficiency and productivity. Since employees can access data and information from any workstation, this means they can work from home, while traveling, or from another office.

A server uses a range of tools to ensure that all information is encrypted as it is saved, allowing those who have chosen to upload it on the other end to have a secure file that will not affect their desktop or laptop computer in any way. By keeping all your employees’ information and data on a server, it can be backed up reliably and quickly, meaning no disruption in daily work. With frequent backups, it is also much easier for your employees to access information from different workstations.

At the most basic level, when you type a URL into your Internet browser (like Chrome, Safari, or Explorer), your computer communicates with the server hosting that website to get the data needed to retrieve the site on your computer. Your personal computer is designed to communicate with humans, but servers are designed to communicate with other computers.

Universe Direct supplies businesses with refurbished computer hardware and servers. “Right now we have a wide range of servers in stock,” says Andrew Craig, owner of Universe Direct. The demand came from the new work from home scenario and our entry into the BPO market.

Universe Direct is the largest distributor of remanufactured computer equipment in South Africa and we pride ourselves on our ongoing equipment warranty, onsite and remote service.

Universe Direct offers a standard three-year parts replacement warranty on servers and extended warranty options available on request.
