The Importance of Servers and Finding the Right One

Servers make the business world go round. It might sound like hyperbole, but it is true. In 2023 alone, around 14 billion servers were shipped across the planet. That is nearly two servers per person! Almost every single business across the global supply chain is somewhat reliant on servers.

They are the engine room of digital operations, they need to perform to their required level consistently, as well as have the capability to scale with your business. Critical aspects of your business, such as CRMs, databases and even your website, are hosted through servers, so ensuring your devices meet your demands is critical.

Techbuyer can help you understand and build the perfect server, tailor made for your exact needs, whether that is refurbished, new, or a combination of the two.

Techbuyer’s Refurbished Servers | Performance as Good as New 

This isn’t just a sustainable choice. Refurbished hardware can perform to the same level as new for a fraction of the cost. Refurbished server technology is what Techbuyer is built upon, and with 20 years of experience there isn’t a better supplier for an IT refresh.  

All refurbished IT equipment goes through a rigorous testing process where all parts are assessed and tested. A combination of this testing and smart configuration is why refurbished servers are able to perform at such a high level. 

Refurbished servers are also much more readily available than their enterprise counterparts. There’s no waiting around for availability, with plenty of items and models already stocked and ready to reach you as soon as the next day. 

Enterprise Servers| Mission Critical Workload Support 

Whilst we are advocates for refurbished hardware, we acknowledge that it is not always an option for all businesses. Techbuyer possesses an impressive catalogue of partnerships with some of the biggest names in server infrastructure.

Enterprise servers are perfect for those who require the most up to date equipment and features such as AI integration and capabilities. If your business is working with cutting edge technology that needs the latest and greatest to back it up, an enterprise server solution is for you. The Techbuyer team can offer a fully bespoke enterprise solution that scales with your business.  

How Do I Choose the Right Server? 

It isn’t just a case of picking between new and refurbished. There are also three main different types of servers for you to consider: racks, towers and blades. 

Rack Servers 

Space efficient, easily scalable and probably what you think of when someone says the word “server.” Rack servers are perfect for those who require multiple servers due to their dimensions which also lends itself very well to scalability in future. 

Tower Servers 

Small business? Remote office? A tower server might be right choice. With a form factor akin to a desktop computer, tower servers are more straightforward to maintain than other options which helps make them the perfect hardware for those running their own business. 

Blade Servers 

The server of choice for those with a high intensity workload. Blade servers are compact and extremely powerful. They are generally used by large scale enterprises utilising cloud computing or virtualisation for example.
