The backbone of any operation, and where you should be focusing most of your energy, servers are the lifeblood of the modern company. Servers are incredibly powerful computers that deliver programs, files, and applications to all the workstations in your office, run your websites, and maintain cybersecurity.
There is plenty to bear in mind when you’re looking to purchase a server—most important of which is what kind of loads will they need to handle. It’s critical that your servers can deliver whatever you need them to without any lag or interruptions. Downtimes and poorly performing workstations can be the death knell of an organization. You also need to consider the types of specifications they have, if they can fit with your existing racks, or whether they’ll interface with databases or groupware.
It’s also important to bear in mind how well your servers will play with your existing supporting parts. Is it the size to fit in with your existing racks?... Do you have the capabilities to hot swap it while it’s running? Does your architecture leave you with room for growth? It’s fundamental that you do your research and know exactly what you are buying or face major regret down the line.
Since servers are so important to a company, you must know everything about your purchase before you commit. From how it fits with your existing servers, to how much your company is looking to scale. There is nothing worse than buying a server, or any piece of equipment, and realizing 6-12 months down the line that it would have been far more worth it to splurge on a more powerful piece of equipment.
