Cisco Repair Vs. Non Cisco Repair

08/28/2009

Ask any of the companies and enterprises that are using Cisco products about the difference betweenCisco repair and non-Cisco repair and they all will invariably come up with some common observations. used Cisco products have often resulted in destroying even the usable parts leave alone repairing the damaged ones. In consequence the entire equipment goes beyond scope of repair. Since most of the Routers and Switches have modular designs in Cisco products, they raise a number of complicated issues in repair if the repairer is non-Cisco.

What these observations are?

One; many of them are focused on repair of Cisco products on their own. Some of them are focused on the issue for years together. Enterprises have even gone to the extent of trying for eight years albeit without much success. True, they have been able to address a few problems out of many. Yet many problems still remain unresolved and beyond their reach. The consensus opinion therefore is that not all the Cisco products are repairable though some can be fixed.

Two; there are multiple reasons contributing to some Cisco product going beyond repair. One of them is electrical storms that can destroy several parts at a time in a Cisco product causing the equipment go beyond repair. At times you will not find the board level clips in the market. If one of them fails then you can do nothing. And when there is some problem with the multilayer board, it is normally beyond repair.

I Gave Them A Deal On The Used IBM’s

08/27/2009

My brothers company had put one of the pseries servers into their new office and they were very happy with the way it was working out. Since they had bought it from my computer store, I was very glad to hear it. I gave them a ridiculous deal on it. If my brother did not work for that company, it would have cost them at least double of what they paid for it.

I did the same thing for my daughter’s school when they wanted some used ibm computers that I had in stock. There was nothing wrong with them; they actually were in very good shape. The principal had stopped in one day to ask if we would give the school a discount. I agreed to a forty percent discount for the used ibm computers. I knew that the school did not have much money, and they really needed to the computers for the kids to learn with.

I have since doubled the size of my store, because my business has grown so much over the past year. I keep thinking that if I do good things for people, like the pseries servers for my brothers company and the used ibm computers for my daughter’s school then it will all be paid back to me in time.

Mixed Up The Used Sun Servers

08/13/2009

If the used sun servers have any problems over the next year, I will be in trouble. I made the mistake of ordering them, instead of the ones that my boss told me to. I wrote them down wrong and mixed up the order. I was supposed to order two used sun fire servers and I ordered two used sun blade servers instead.

I do not know what the difference is, but apparently my boss does and he made that quite clear. I wish that I would have caught the mistake before the tech department hooked them up or whatever they do with them. My boss discovered the mix up when he was giving a new intern a tour of the building. He made me walk down to the computer room and he yelled at me in front of the intern.

I will be sure to double check with him on the type of used sun servers I should order next time or any other used sun equipment for that matter. I really need this job, and hope that the new servers do not have any problems.

The tech department has assured me that there is not much difference in the two servers I mixed up, but they do not want to tell that to the boss because they are also afraid of losing their jobs.
