The key to success for any of your IT hardware is to do your research and find a reliable company that specialises in refurbishing IT equipment. When researching, you want to find a company that has a credible history of selling high-quality refurbished hardware.
There are many benefits to buying refurbished hardware, they include:
- Cost-effective: you can buy refurbished hardware for a fraction of the suggested retail price, which will allow your IT budget to go further. Benefitting from reduced costs equalling a greater ROI and in turn, greater scalability.
- As good as new: Refurbished hardware which has been expertly done will perform as good as new.
- Your configuration: new and pre-owned servers will need the right configuration of drives, memory, and processors in place in order for them to perform. With the right expertise, refurbished servers can match the performance of a new server, or even out-perform them.
- Fully customisable: A good hardware supplier will provide you with a guide to the best IT hardware that supports the right virtualisation platforms for the servers you provide.
