Agile IT Solutions is the trusted IT advisor for many business owners. Agile continues its leadership in the Australian IT market by learning more about Windows 8 technologies.

Mornington, Victora -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/05/2012 -- Windows 8 is still many months away from being released for use in Australian businesses; however, on Feb. 29, Microsoft made available the customer preview version of the Windows 8 operating system. Windows 8 is available for any organization that wants to get a sneak peak at this new operating system.

Agile IT Solutions has installed Windows 8 in its test network with the goal of getting a basic understanding of many of the new features found in Windows 8, including some of the touch screen enhancements, in mind.

"Our goal is to get to know Windows 8 for all our Agile IT Solutions clients. So far I can say it is interesting … very interesting," said Linden Jackson, owner and lead technology specialist at Agile IT Solutions.

The Windows 8 customer preview is not the complete version, and as with any beta software, use at your own risk. If your business would like to demo Windows 8, we recommend that you install it in a test environment and do not use it on any of your production systems.

Those who already have Windows 7 should have no problem running the Windows 8 consumer preview. For those who are uncertain, we have put together a checklist of requirements:

- 1GHz or faster processor
- 1 GB of RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB of RAM (64-bit)
- 16 GB of available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

It was around Christmas time in Frankston in Victoria Australia when disaster struck. A power outage took out a server at a local software provider’s office.

Mornington, Victora -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/09/2012 -- Due to aging serve hardware many of the old servers had been migrated to a virtualised environment, it had not yet implemented a complete backup solution. When the server failed, both the power supply and the RAID controller had problems and were on the brink of major data loss. That's when Agile IT stepped in.

Agile IT had already been providing IT services on an ad hoc basis for the software provider, so they called on Agile IT again for help. After many hours of troubleshooting, Agile IT's experts got the system to recognise the hard disks so that the server could be brought back online. Once the server was running, Agile IT immediately took backup of all of the virtual servers that were running within the environment and implemented a temporary backup solution to protect the system whilst a replacement option was implemented.

During the implementation, the IT consultant at Agile IT took a proactive stance and proposed a solution to replace the current hardware with A grade server hardware with full vendor warranty support. At the same time, the consultant recommended implementing a backup solution using StorageCraft® ShadowProtect® in order to take regular backups of the full environment with both onsite and offsite visits

The decision makers at the software provider learned first-hand the benefits of doing scheduled backups and having the right technology solution in place. The 10-person company, based in Frankston, relies heavily on its IT systems for business operations.

Due to Melbourne-based Agile IT's excellent IT support and customer service, the local software provider realises the value of a server being able to be restored in a disaster and having ongoing backup solutions. As a result, the client is now transitioning over to Agile IT's EverWatch Managed IT plan to provide a continuous monitoring and management of their multi server IT environment.
