Why buy refurbished IBM servers?
Thinking of installing IBM servers in your environment but too worried about the cost? Consider refurbished IBM servers! Refurbished servers are servers that have been used before in a data center environment but have later been returned or removed, most probably due to change in requirements. Refurbished servers can be found at a lower price than new servers, however, there is no compromise in quality.
Refurbished servers are tested, and the hardware and software are restored to original factory defaults, then sold at a fraction of the original price, thus giving a new life cycle to a server.
Why buy refurbished?
Here are the reasons you should consider buying used IBM servers for your environment:
1) As mentioned above, refurbished IBM servers are very affordable will save you around 15%- 50%. If you are looking to buy multiple servers, this can really add up to significant savings!
2) If you want a server that has been discontinued, then you might not be able to get a new product. However, with a refurbished server, you will get the exact model that you require in great quality.
3) Refurbished servers may be used servers, but they go through thorough testing and renovation in order to make them as good as new. Thus, quality or service is not something you should worry about while buying refurbished products.
How does one buy IBM refurbished servers?
1) First, determine the type of services you need to manage. Servers and high-end computers perform quite different tasks, and if you are looking for something to maintain your complex databases, always check specifications.
2) Make sure that the refurbished servers are certified. There is a difference between used servers and refurbished servers. While refurbished servers are tested and certified, servers which are merely said to be “used” may or may not have been tested. Thus, buying it from the official site or any reputable site is recommended.
