I'm already well-acquainted with Dell hardware as per your preference and understand the significance of SSD storage for enhanced performance.
Furthermore, my proficiency in configuring Blade chassis from Cisco UCS 5108 to HP BLC 7000, installing and configuring Dell, HP, IBM rack servers as well as working with IBM, EMC, and Huawei storage area network (SAN) will prove to be invaluable in setting up your server. I not only ensure functionality but also prioritize safety measures with my expertise in firewalls like Cisco ASA 5505, 5515, 5525,5585, Firepower NGFW, Fortinet, Palo Alto along with a few others.
Scalability may not be an immediate concern but I believe it is always important to incorporate future-proof elements.
