The hardware platform range:

Winfrasoft appliances are built upon the reliability of Dell PowerEdge and Hewlett-Packard Proliant DL servers. These are the worlds most deployed hardware platform thanks to their build quality and onsite support capability. Why pay more for lower quality hardware with poorer support offerings offered by other proprietary component assembler vendors? Appliances are also available on Hyper-V and VMware virtualisation platforms which are ideal for server consolidation.
