Make your next IT hardware purchase a smart one, whether you're a small business owner, a student, or a mum or dad. Keep it green with used servers. They're a great option for many reasons such as reliability, affordability, and much shorter lead-times! 

But what do you need to know before you purchase a used server? Before choosing to go the refurbished route, consider the quality, the reputation of the seller, the prices, certifications, and more.

Before you buy used servers for company use, be sure to educate yourself on the long-term benefits and reasons why used servers are a great money-saving option.

Why Are Used Servers a Great Option?

Stop wasting time and money on brand new servers when they can be refurbished and sent to you in a lot less time for a much lower cost. Your business will not only have peace of mind from the time and money savings but also a clear conscience because you helped the planet.

You'll be able to afford higher specs and better configurations for the price if you choose to go used. You can also configure the hardware to your own specifications this way. Options aren't limited by any means, even when it comes to warranties.

1. Higher Specs and More Customisation Options for the Money!

We're all limited on a budget in one way or another and tech is no different. But you must purchase high-performance servers to get your job done and keep up with the competition. By buying refurbished servers, such as these refurbished Dell servers, you have more customization options and higher specs for the money!

Another benefit of buying used is that you aren't limited by what the OEM or distributor has in stock to the extreme you would assume. You will still have these options at your disposal. 

No more worries about contacting OEM-certified distributors for quotes and to see what they have available. Avoid these hassles and more when you just build specs on the configure-to-order page available online for your convenience.

2. Help Reduce Electronic Waste When You Buy Used Servers

There's a global problem with electronic waste right now. When you purchase from a used IT hardware company, you can rest assured that audit annually in order to assure they're properly recycling all of their electronic waste.

Not only that, but the purchase itself is making sure that a usable piece of hardware doesn't get thrown into a landfill. It has new life and is reducing the amount of e-waste that would have affected future generations.

While hundreds of thousands of electronic devices are recycled in Australia every year, millions are not — they're simply thrown away.

It's hard to fathom the magnitude of this, but by buying used, you're playing an important part in cleaning up the country and the earth, especially if you spread the word.

3. Significantly Reduce Lead-Times

Most times, you'll receive your server quicker than if you would have purchased it new. Often, you could get it the same day of purchase. This even applies to used servers that you configure to your own specs and built-to-order!

When you buy new servers, you could be waiting much longer. By buying used, you can count the saved time into your productivity.
