At Anything Computer, Inc., we have partnered with several vendors in our industry to help us provide you, our
customers, with the best possible solutions at the best possible prices. We did not simply pick the biggest
companies, or the companies with the most expensive products. We looked for companies that have shown they can
produce a quality product and have a proven track record showing they can do it year after year. We looked for
companies who provide products that are easy to implement, maintain, and when necessary, upgrade. We looked for
companies whose products could be easily integrated with other solutions.
HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

We have partnered with Dell for all of our computers, laptops and server purchases for both business
and residential customers quite simply because they shown the ability to continually produce a good,
quality product, year after year and at very competitive prices. They provide a collection of tools
that make managing and monitoring their servers incredibly simple. They also have diagnostic tools
that make finding problems simple. Dell also provides technical phone support that has been nothing
short of outstanding!

We have partnered with Hewlett Packard to
offer printers to all of our business and
residential customers. We also use Hewlett Packard as our vendor of choice when it
comes to implementing networking solutions for our mid-sized business customers.

Linksys has always produced a good quality product year after
year. Since being purchased by Cisco, they have continued that tradition with products that are innovative,
functional and affordable. We have partnered with them to provide networking solutions to all of our
residential, and in some cases, small business customers.

|
We partnered with Microsoft for our small and mid-sized business customers. Microsoft was a logical
choice because they offer solutions for just about every technology need you might have.
At the server level, they offer file and print services, database services, email services, web hosting
services, name resolution services, dhcp services, remote access services, directory services, and the
list goes on and on.
For the end user, their operating system is by far and away the easiest solution to integrate with their
server products. Additionally, most third party solutions are written to integrate with Microsoft
products, or to run on Microsoft's products.

NetGear
|
We do not have an official partnership with NetGear but their networking equipment is what we have chosen
to use for our small-sized businesses. Their product lines tend to be well suited and have all the
right features and functionality needed by small businesses. |

VMWARE was the first company to introduce virtualization to the industry. Since their first offering, they have been continually
expanding their product lines adding new
products and features to help with the installation, deployment, and management of your
virtual environment.
|
|
We partnered with Symantec because they have been doing AntiVirus longer than almost anyone out there.
More importantly, they have a product line that is well suited for both business and residential customers.
Symantec also purchased Veritas which made Backup Exec. Backup Exec is the backup program we have
chosen to implement for our business customers
to backup their file servers and application
servers like Exchange,
Oracle, and SQLServer.

SERVICES

Kerio has developed a product called Connect that has all the same
basic functionality as a Microsoft's Exchange
server. Key features of Connect include an integrated email, calendar, and contact solution, a feature
rich web application for accessing your account through a web browser, and support for the ActiveSync
protocol for mobile devices and a "connector" module so you can access your account using Microsoft's
Outlook application. |
 |
We have dealt with almost every kind of email spam filtering service available in the market place. After
evaluating them all, we felt RedCondor had the best product on the market.
Their product is as flexible and configurable as any other product on the market. They offer both inbound
and outbound scanning whereas most of the other hosted
solutions only offer inbound filtering
services

|
We have partnered with Network Solutions to help us manage all of our domain name needs. Network Solutions
was one of the first domain name registrars to emerge in the market; they are well recognized by
many in the industry. Their products are reasonably priced and the tool sets they offer to manage
your
domain names and SSL certificates are very intuitive and easy to use.

C & I Electronics, Inc. has been doing business in Evansville for many years now and we have used
them for recycling old computer equipment and for purchasing good quality used equipment. In 2009,
Indiana Legislation passed E-Waste Legislation and, starting in 2011, they
are actively promoting the
legislation. In an effort to comply with the new
law and to become more "green" conscientious, we have partnered
with C & I Electronics Inc. to offer all our
customers a way to recycle their computer parts.
