Purchasing refurbished server hardware can be the perfect option for IT managers and business owners who always want maximum success and return on their investment.
Below we are going to consider the reasons for such a decision.
What are refurbished servers
Refurbished servers are built with updated components that prevent frequent overheating and server breakdowns. Moreover, refurbished servers can be purchased at the best price (more profitable option).
Newserverlife is actually following the same strategy as Apple. Used equipment undergoes a diagnostic and restoration procedure, and then is sold by the enterprise as refurbished equipment marked "as new". The equipment is delivered safely packed.
The result of buying refurbished servers – high-quality equipment with a guarantee, the service life of which is 5-7 years, as well as saving money (up to 80%).
Using refurbished servers
Refurbished equipment can serve different purposes and be used in almost any field of activity. For example:
- banks,
- medical centers,
- retail,
- e-commerce,
- industrial development,
- oil and gas industry,
- state-owned companies.
Differences between refurbished servers and used servers
Ref-equipment goes through the following stages before being sent for sale:
- full recovery,
- cleaning,
- testing.
Used equipment is delivered to the buyer with all the problems and hidden flaws.
The quality of refurbished servers is guaranteed by the supplier, while the quality of used servers is not guaranteed by anyone.
Therefore, the difference is very noticeable.
Stages of transformation of a used server into a refurbished server
Device inspection. At first, specialists perform an external inspection of the server. External damage of any nature is visible almost immediately.
Device Diagnostics. Professionals analyze the technical condition of the server and look for faults. At this stage, the device must be disassembled into parts and get rid of dust and dirt.
Components Replacement. In some cases, it may be necessary to replace defective or inefficient elements of the device with new ones. Almost all new components should be cleaned with an antistatic vacuum cleaner and isopropanol after installation.
Firmware update. This procedure is necessary for the server to work more reliably and longer. Only servers 2-3 generations ago are used for replacement.
Testing. At first, specialists test the assembled and updated server, which is then stored in a specially equipped warehouse until the sale. After placing an order, the elements necessary for the client are added to the device package. Then the server is sent for stress testing, which involves running it at high power, exceeding its usual operation. This process allows you to ensure the most reliable operation of the server, while eliminating even minor problems.
At the end of all stages, the equipment is ready for work.
As a result: the device works properly and reliably, and is more profitable than a new model.
