Server Prices Up. Availability Down. Now What?

If you've quoted a server lately, you may already be feeling it.

Prices are moving. Availability can be unpredictable. Lead times and component changes can make it harder to confidently quote a project today and know exactly what you're going to be dealing with when it's time to order.

For security integrators, that's more than an IT hardware problem. The server is a critical piece of the solution - and uncertainty around pricing or availability can affect margins, project timelines and ultimately your commitment to the customer.

So, now what?

Now Micro.

When the hardware market gets complicated, having the right partner in your corner matters. And right now, Now Micro is bringing together something customers need more than ever - competitive pricing, available inventory, quote stability and an experienced team that knows how to navigate a changing hardware market.

Experience Matters When the Market Gets Complicated

Now Micro has been solving technology challenges since 1993.

Over more than three decades, technology has changed dramatically - and so has the market around it. Through it all, Now Micro has built its business around helping customers reduce risk, simplify deployments and get the right hardware into the field.

That experience matters when conditions aren't predictable.

Now Micro's responsive, knowledgeable team works closely with customers to understand their requirements, evaluate options and navigate changing component availability and product lifecycles.

For integrators designing and deploying physical security systems, that means working with a hardware partner who understands that the server isn't just another item on a BOM. It has to support the performance, storage, reliability and scalability the application demands - while still meeting the project's budget and timeline.

The Right Partner - at the Right Time

Experience is only part of the story.

Now Micro has made significant investments in inventory, putting them in a strong position to deliver many solutions within standard lead times even as availability becomes a challenge elsewhere in the market.

They're also helping dealers stay competitive on price.

We're seeing opportunities where Now Micro can deliver meaningful savings on server hardware, giving integrators another way to protect project margins at a time when rising hardware costs are putting increasing pressure on budgets.

And when you quote a project, there's another advantage: Now Micro server quotes are valid for 30 days.

In a market where pricing can change quickly, that extra stability gives integrators more confidence to build a quote, present it to a customer and move through the sales process without wondering whether the hardware number will change before the project gets approved.

Put it all together and this becomes much more than simply another place to buy a server.

It's access to inventory. Competitive pricing. More predictable quoting. Purpose-built solutions. And an experienced team that can help you figure out the right path when the market throws you a curveball.

Don't Wait Until There's a Problem

You don't have to wait until a server is unavailable, a lead time threatens your project schedule or a price increase has already eaten into your margin to explore another option.

The time to build that relationship is now.

If server costs, lead times or hardware availability have become a challenge for your business, reach out to your local TPI representative.
