  • Dedicated, high-performance HP Servers for key applications (e.g., MS Exchange/Blackberry, ProLaw, Summation Enterprise) to guarantee performance and provide room to grow;
     
  • HP Storage Area Network for file services and large scale data storage;
     
  • Cisco Network Switches, Routers and VPN/Firewall for our local area network and access to the Internet;
