From workload sizing and procurement to rack integration, hypervisor build and lifecycle support - SmartSoft delivers production-ready Dell PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant platforms for virtualization, AI/HPC, databases and edge environments. Backed by certified engineers, 24×7 monitoring and 4-hour mission-critical SLAs.
A virtualization host, an in-memory database and an AI training node demand fundamentally different CPU, memory, storage and network architectures. Our solution architects size each platform against your application benchmarks, growth projections and availability targets.
Modern dual-socket platforms collapse fragmented hardware footprints into resilient HCI or three-tier clusters. A typical SmartSoft consolidation engagement delivers 60-70% rack-space reduction, 40-55% lower energy draw and a documented uplift in availability - with capacity headroom for three to five years of organic growth.
For organisations bringing model training, fine-tuning and high-volume inference in-house, NVIDIA-certified GPU servers eliminate token-based cloud spend, retain data sovereignty and deliver predictable performance. SmartSoft handles platform selection, power and cooling assessment, NVIDIA AI Enterprise stack deployment and ongoing GPU health monitoring.
SAP HANA, Oracle Database and Microsoft SQL Always-On environments demand certified hardware, validated firmware baselines and predictable maintenance windows. SmartSoft deploys 4-socket scale-up platforms with persistent memory, all-NVMe storage tiers and HA cluster topologies engineered for five-nines availability and rapid month-end close cycles.
SmartSoft delivers the complete server lifecycle, from advisory and procurement through deployment and 24×7 managed operations - removing handoffs between vendors, integrators and support providers.
Workload characterisation, capacity planning and certified reference architecture mapping.
Tier-1 partner pricing, factory integration and configuration validation.
Racking, cabling, firmware baselining, hypervisor build and as-built documentation.
Workload migration with planned cut-over windows and rollback procedures.
NOC-led telemetry, alerting and proactive firmware advisories.
4-hour on-site response via Dell ProSupport Plus and HPE Tech Care Critical.
Trade-in, NIST-compliant data sanitisation and certified e-waste disposal.
CAPEX, lease, Dell APEX or HPE GreenLake metered consumption models.
From a 5-user branch office to a multi-rack AI cluster, we deploy the appropriate form factor with engineered power, cooling and serviceability - not whatever happens to be in stock.
Acoustic-optimised, office-grade platforms for small businesses, branch offices and clinics without dedicated server rooms.
The datacentre standard. High-density, hot-swap platforms with end-to-end remote management and full redundancy.
Purpose-built 4U+ chassis engineered for NVIDIA H100 / H200 density, NVLink fabric and direct-liquid cooling.
Short-depth, ruggedised platforms qualified for harsh environments - retail outlets, factory floors and telco closets.
SmartSoft holds direct partner status with both Dell Technologies and Hewlett Packard Enterprise - enabling factory-integration, OEM-direct pricing, accelerated warranty escalation and access to roadmap engineering resources.
The PowerEdge portfolio spans entry tower platforms through 4-socket scale-up servers and the XE-series GPU systems for accelerated AI. Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC), Cyber Resilient Architecture and ProSupport Plus deliver enterprise-grade lifecycle management and 4-hour mission-critical response.
The ProLiant Gen11 portfolio combines hardware-rooted security via Silicon Root of Trust, embedded iLO 6 management and HPE OneView for full-stack lifecycle automation. HPE GreenLake additionally offers a metered, OPEX-based consumption model on the same certified hardware.
Both are tier-1 enterprise platforms. The right choice typically depends on existing estate, management tooling preferences and consumption model.
