Questions
Do you only work with these three vendors?
They are the lines we support in depth; ask about others.
Can you take over hardware someone else installed?
Yes, after a health check.
Should we buy or move to the cloud?
We compare both over three years for your workloads; steady workloads are often cheaper on your own hardware.
