subject: Increase Your Profits With Used Xseries Servers [print this page] A lot of people get confused as to what a server actually is. The term server is often used very loosely and can be broad in the sense that a server is really any combination of software or hardware designed to provide service to a shared computer network. But for the sake of narrowing it down a little, we will talk about a server that is engineered to manage, hold, send, and process data over a shared computer network. Basically, if you have 4-5 people on a computer network sharing programs, important documents, files, and other applications, then a server could benefit you greatly.
As opposed to a computer desktop, new or used series servers can be used as a central hub where programs, files, and important documents are stored and can be accessed by several computers on a shared network. Before shopping for a server you need to know what applications you need it to perform and what size will be efficient to run those applications.
First off, let's discuss adding a server to your business. A server can be an excellent business purchase if you get the right one for your situation. Used servers, like used xseries servers or other refurbished servers can be a great choice and can save you quite a bit of money. Your budget is valuable so you certainly do not want to over buy in server size and waste budget but you do not want purchase a server that is too small either. Finding the perfect sized xseries used servers for your company, and maybe buying a little bigger for future growth would be ideal, so you have to figure out how many different applications the server needs to process.
It needs to have a memory size or random access memory (RAM) big enough to hold the number of entries that are used by the computers connected to it. It may have to provide services to many computers so it needs to have enough memory capable of doing that. The processor speed is also a concern. The processor speed is measured in giga hertz and needs to be large enough to multitask programs being run on several computers at once and large enough to store all the files, documents, and other applications not being used.
Obviously, the bigger the memory and the more processor speed a server has, the more expensive it is. Look into used xseries servers or other used brands of servers to save you and to save the company budget. These used servers are still 100% genuine brand name but have just been previously used and then cleaned up and refurbished. They are just as dependable as a new server and you can probably save up to 70% off of the price of buying a brand new one. It is well worth looking into. As long as you get one with the memory and speed that is required from your computer network, a used xseries server will be very sufficient.
Have a computer professional figure up all the memory being used on your computer network now including any programs, documents, and important files. Tell him how many computers are running these applications at any given time and let him figure out what size of used xseries servers would suit your needs best. It could definitely increase your bottom line and be the best business decision you make.
