Products · Components & peripherals
The parts that extend a fleet instead of replacing it.
Upgrades, spares, docking and peripherals — the least glamorous part of the catalogue and often the one that returns the most, because a memory upgrade across a fleet frequently buys another year for a fraction of a replacement.
This catalogue lists what Noble supplies and how it is specified. It carries no prices, no stock or availability position, no ratings or reviews, and no manufacturer specifications — everything technical is confirmed against the requirement at quotation, because a published figure nobody has verified is a figure somebody will procure against.
What this category is for
Most fleets are replaced before they need to be. Where the constraint is memory, storage speed or a battery rather than the processor, an upgrade programme extends the estate for a fraction of the cost — and where it genuinely is the processor, that is worth establishing before a purchase order is raised.
Docking and cabling standards are worth deciding once for the whole estate. A single docking standard turns a hot desk into something that works with any laptop in the building; three standards turn it into a support ticket.
What it covers
Product types rather than part numbers. The type is the decision; the model follows from the requirement and is confirmed at quotation.
Memory and drives
Fleet upgrades and server expansion, matched to the platform rather than to a generic specification, which is where compatibility problems actually start.
Docking and adapters
One docking standard across the estate, with the adapters that keep older devices working against it.
Input devices and headsets
Keyboards, mice and headsets — specified for people who use them eight hours a day rather than for a bundle price.
Cables and consumables
Patch leads, transceivers, media and printer consumables — held against a standard so a replacement is a stock item rather than a search.
What decides the specification
The questions a quotation is built from. Answering these is usually faster than sending a part number, and it catches the requirement a part number would have got wrong.
- 01
What it is going into
Exact model and existing configuration. Compatibility, not capacity, is what makes a component order go wrong.
- 02
What is actually slow
Memory, disk, network or processor. Establishing which one before buying is usually cheaper than the upgrade itself.
- 03
Whether the estate has a standard
One docking, cable and peripheral standard is worth more over four years than a lower price on any individual item.
- 04
What is held as spare
A small spares pool for the items that fail most turns a two-day wait into a ten-minute swap.
The work around it
Hardware arrives configured, installed and supported, or it arrives in a box. These are the services that make the difference.
Brand and model names are used descriptively where a requirement names one. All marks belong to their owners.
Send the requirement.
A quantity, an environment and what it has to connect to is enough to start. Noble quotes against the requirement rather than from a price list, and says where a specification will not do what it is being asked to do.
