Tips for Selecting a Used HP Server Model
If you’re planning to buy a used HP server model, you need to keep a few things in mind. These few things will
actually decide whether the used server model that you’re buying will be a nightmare or a Godsend. They’re listed
as under.
Seek Advice from a Consultant
Every business has differentIT requirements and specific needs. Thus, seek advice from an IT Consultant about your
specific IT requirements. He/she will also suggest you better which server model to buy because every server serves
a different purpose.The ProLiant series, started out by Compaq and then acquired and mastered by HP, is a very
versatile server series that caters to all kinds of business needs, be it a small one or a very large one. The ProLiant
series is a breakthrough fabric and density server, offering the finest, class-leading networking capabilities that
allows its users a focused Infinband networking environment that reduces cost and makes network management
much more efficient. The superior blade density and accelerated fabrics offers the most revolutionary performance
and is highly power-efficient at the same time. This makes it ideal for scale-out data centers. We have the widest
range of HP ProLiant Servers for you to choose from, like the DL 580G2 1.4 GHz -512, BL 20P G2 Dual 2.8 GHz,
BL 20P X 3.06 GHz, 1 MB, etc.
Plan Your Budget Refurbished used servers by HP do not come cheap. Yes, there could be hefty discounts but still the prices will not
be as low as non-branded used servers that have not been refurbished. So do not keep your budget too low. Keep it
enough to buy a good used, refurbished server.
Look for Refurbished Hardware Refurbished hardware is as good as new. The old, worn parts are replaced and the entire hardware, look and feel is
given a touch up. Buying refurbished hardware makes sure that the server does not start to fall apart as soon as you
start using it and makes it durable and long-lasting.
Choose One with Lifetime Warranty This might seem odd, but some retailers and resellers do offer replacing the damaged parts for free during the
lifetime of the specific product. Lifetime warranty is usually available on refurbished hardware.
Compare Prices After zeroing in on the budget you have allocated and the server model you need, compare prices from at least three
resellers before buying. This research might sometimes surprise you and save you quite some money.If you do your
share of hard work and research, you might actually find a refurbished HP server with a lifetime warranty and save a
lot too.Refurbished HP used server models are a good choice and mostly perform as good as new.
