We understand that it can be a struggle to balance increasingly tight budgets with your IT hardware needs. That’s why we’ve put together a breakdown of three simple ways you can make your IT budget go further without sacrificing performance or reliability.
Save up to 80% with refurbished
The ultimate benefit of choosing refurbished hardware is that it offers massive cost savings compared to new, so you can get more for less out of your budget. IT hardware loses its value as soon as the box is opened, but you can save up to 80% without sacrificing performance by choosing refurbished hardware for your business.
We recently shipped two BLc700 enclosures configured with 32 BL460c Gen8 Blade Servers. The Blade Servers were configured with dual 10-core Intel Xeon E5 processors, 512GB of memory, HBAs and FlexFabric Adapters. Our customer also bought some HP Virtual Connect Switches. The full order came in at under £40k, saving the company hundreds of thousands of pounds compared to if they had chosen the new retail equivalent hardware.
We consistently see our customers making huge savings by choosing refurbished hardware, with many of our customers using their left over budgets to go towards other IT projects. That’s future opportunities for your business created simply through choosing refurbished!
Sell your used IT hardware
Some businesses choose to bin their old IT hardware, or even pay people to take it away! But did you know you could sell your used IT hardware to us whenever you come to refresh or upgrade your IT inventory? Making us your IT disposal partner means you can generate revenue from your redundant hardware.
We bought over 100 HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen9 and GL360p Gen8 Servers from a Data Centre in London. We collected the servers free of charge and erased all Hard Drives with industry leading software. The servers were then disassembled, tested and refurbished by HP Specialists to be put into stock.
Our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is a safe, sustainable, secure and cost effective method of recycling IT assets. We provide IT disposal, computer recycling, data destruction, data shredding, installation and decommissioning services for clients all over the world using our own security cleared drivers and a fleet of satellite tracked CCTV fitted vehicles. We safely eliminate all personal data and ensure compliance with data protection legislation.
Ultimately our goal is to keep your business and your customer’s safe by eliminating the risk of theft or fraud resulting from data and security breaches. You can sell to us with confidence, knowing that your data security is our priority.
Our end-to-end service saves you time, hassle and provides you with capital to fund your next IT project. If you have any used IT hardware you no longer need, get in touch withthe Intelligent Servers ITAD team at purchasing@intelligentservers.co.uk
Upgrade don’t replace
Many organisations opt to replace their IT infrastructure every 3 years. But since IT hardware has a life expectancy of ten years, choosing to upgrade rather than replace can provide your business with huge cost savings without a reduction in quality, reliability or performance.
You can easily upgrade your IT infrastructure by upgrading parts such as memory, hard drives and processors to increase speed, boost performance and adapt to new business environments.
All of our hardware is put through high performance testing to ensure it performs as good as new. In fact, due to this thorough testing refurbished hardware is known to have lower RMA rates than new hardware!
If knowing there’s a cost saving and performance you can rely on isn’t enough, refurbished suppliers like Intelligent Servers stock thousands of parts that OEMs no longer stock. For instance, we stock Server parts from G5 right up to Gen10 making it easy to upgrade parts of your servers rather than replacing the whole unit. You can configure a professionally refurbished HPE ProLiant Gen9 Server to perform as well, and in some cases better than the latest Gen10 Server range, at up to 80% less of the price. What a way to get more for your budget!
