The end of 2020 is near and you have some cash left in your budget. It’s time for your business to purchase some servers and a few questions come to mind.
But these questions overlook something fundamental, a question that could save you money as well as offer added flexibility.
“Should I choose new or refurbished?”
If you follow the news, you know that Amazon, of all people, discovered that they can use their servers, intensively, for four years with no decrease in reliability or performance.
Enterprises have been experimenting with stretching server depreciation to five years or more for some time. That’s because servers are more reliable than ever before, processor generations aren’t doubling in performance as they once did, and underlying technologies (drives, networking) are mature and aren’t rapidly evolving.
At ServerMonkey, we offer both new servers and refurbished servers, from a range of Tier 1 suppliers, including HPE and Dell EMC. Every day, we have customers asking whether they should buy new or refurbished and which is the best for their business needs.
Below you will find a list of considerations to help guide you to the right choice.
As you can see from this list, new and refurbished servers offer different advantages and disadvantages. The decision on which works best for your business is up to you and whichever option you choose ServerMonkey is ready to assist.
