Need a server? Call us: Universe Direct!

A server is made to manage, store, send information, and process data all the time. A server works 24 hours a day and is extremely reliable compared to a desktop.

Servers not only help your business with data storage, but they will also improve efficiency and productivity. As employees can access data and information from any workstation, it means they can work from home, while travelling or from a different office.

A server uses a range of tools to ensure all of the information is encrypted as it is saved, allowing those who chose to download it on the other end to have a safe file which will not affect their desktop or laptop in any way.

By having all your employee information and data stored on a server, it can be backed up reliably and quickly, meaning no disruption to daily work. With frequent backups, it also makes it a lot easier for your employees to access the information from different workstations.

On the most basic level, when you type in a URL in your Internet browser (like Chrome, Safari or Explorer), your computer communicates with the server hosting that Web site to get the data to pull the site up on your machine. Your personal computer is designed to communicate with humans, but servers are designed to communicate with other computers.

Universe Direct is providing businesses with refurbished IT equipment and servers.

“At present, we have a wide range of servers in stock,” says Andrew Craig, owner of Universe Direct. The demand has come from the new work-from-home scenario and our entrance into the BPO market.

Universe Direct is South Africa’s largest distributor of refurbished IT equipment and we pride ourselves on our ongoing guarantee of both equipment, onsite and remote service.

Universe Direct offers a standard three-year parts replacement warranty on servers and has extended warranty options available upon request.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I took my Dell laptop to Universe Direct at Westlake Business Park this morning and was assisted by Ikraam in the workshop downstairs. The button for the letter “A” had come loose from the keyboard. Ikraam immediately attended to the problem and then kindly directed me to a comfortable lounge area, where I was offered coffee. He told me he would be with me in about 10 minutes — and, true to his word, he returned with my Dell laptop in perfect working order. To my surprise, there was no charge. I was genuinely impressed by the level of service I received. Ikraam was professional, polite, efficient and exceptionally helpful. It is not often these days that one experiences such good, old-fashioned customer service. Ikraam is a real credit to his profession and to Universe Direct. I would happily recommend Universe Direct to anyone looking for not only quality products, but also outstanding customer service. I wish Ikraam every success in his career. I will certainly be buying my next laptop from Universe Direct — that’s for sure! Thank you, Ikraam, and well done Universe Direct!

It’s a completely different story to be able to explain to a non techie customer so that they understand. What sets you apart is your genuine care about helping people out. Thank you!!

Ikraam went out of his way in the most pleasant manner to deal with system software updates, driver installation (camera, voice and sound) he seemed genuinely interested in seeing a Result which for me was important too. Thank you UD !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Brilliant Service! 💻✨☕️ I would like to give a huge shout-out to Matthew and the team at Universe Direct for the absolutely brilliant service! 👏🏽 Matthew was incredibly helpful from start to finish and made the whole process so easy for me. My laptop screen needed to be replaced, but the part wasn’t available here in South Africa. The team went the extra mile and ordered the screen from abroad for me. 🌍💻 Within just a few days, they contacted me to let me know that the screen had arrived and replaced it for me while I waited. The service was efficient, professional and absolutely amazing! And now… my laptop looks brand new again! 😍🔥 The new screen is 100% perfect, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. A special thank you to Matthew for being so helpful, patient and professional throughout the process. 🙏🏽 And Universe Direct, thank you for going the extra mile for your customers. That kind of service truly makes a difference! 👏🏽 Oh, and I must mention the lovely complimentary guest coffee I enjoyed while waiting. ☕️😂❤️ What a thoughtful touch! Thank you once again, Matthew and Universe Direct! I highly recommend your service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service, great communication and a team that genuinely cares about their customers! 💻✨👏🏽
