The Used Proliant Servers Were Not A Good Deal
The last time that I made one of my computer guys change out a server, we had issues with it for weeks. I knew that we needed to do that again, but was not looking forward to all the tweaking that went with it until the servers would just work properly.
I found some used proliant servers at a local computer store that I thought looked like they were in good shape and I bought them for half of what new ones would cost. My computer guys were not happy with me for just going off and buying the used hp servers without first consulting them but I had to make a decision quickly before someone else found the good deal and bought them out from under me.
My top computer guy told me that although they looked like a good deal, they probably were not since they were not refurbished like they could have gotten me online through a really good used hp servers site. I wish that one of them would have told me that before I spent the amount of money that I did on the non refurbished used proliant servers.
The used hp servers that I bought were non returnable also which added a little more fuel to the fire. I had to have them install them and just hope for the best.
