Upgrading Your IT Data Center Affordably

Your IT data center is the heart and nervous system of your business. Almost every transaction depends on having reliable, supportable technology. Servers, storage devices, routers, switches, cabling, telecom systems, even the simple KVM switch all play important and mission critical roles in making sure your business can run like a well oiled machine.

All businesses with data centers are constantly juggling the competing demands of price and functionality. How can you provide a stable, secure, and robust IT infrastructure while not spending too much money? Finding affordable solutions is always a top priority.

One of the best solutions is to buy refurnished products from top-quality brands with a proven track record. That way, you can have the latest Cisco switch or HP server, and not break the bank. This equipment is refurbished and tested to the highest OEM specification. Refurbished IT data center equipment can be supported by the manufacture so it will be easy to find the help and documentation your IT team depends on to keep your IT data center running smoothly.

Your IT data center relies on a variety of different types of equipment from enterprise servers to cabling. The key to an affordable solution is finding a one-stop shop for all of your equipment needs. A good IT data center equipment dealer will be able to help you choose the best solutions and provide refurbished equipment when it will save you money. Rather than spending your valuable time evaluating each manufacture, a good dealer will help you sort through the variety of options. Should you buy a Dell, IBM, HP or Sun server? Find a dealer that will listen to your business needs and help you choose the most affordable and effective product.

Networking equipment, like routers and switches, can seem foreign to many IT departments since they do not support them every day. There are so many options and it can be difficult to choose whether the CISCO WS-C6509 with 9 slots and Maximum PoE Scalability is a better choice than the Cisco Catalyst 2924 LRE XL Switch with Long Reach Ethernet. A good equipment dealer will help you choose and can provide refurbished CISCO equipment at a fraction of manufactures retail price.

Upgrading your IT data center is a continuing process and finding affordable solutions an integral part or your business budget. A quality IT equipment dealer who can provide refurbished equipment for pennies on the dollar will be the best vendor to help you navigate the variety of choices to build a reliable and robust IT data center.
