HOW TO BUY A SERVER?

Buying a server is probably one of the most crucial IT investments made by a business. As the business starts to grow and the network requirements enhance in terms of the number of users and the quantity of data, buying a server assists in staying systematic and efficient. But the question is - how to buy a server? There is a wide variety of servers available to choose from, ranging from simple tower PCs to progressive rack mounts for handling heavy loads.

Sifting through the massive server options available need not be a daunting task, if you have a clear understanding of the purpose and business needs.

Key Considerations While Buying A Server

Operational Requirements & Scalability: It is vital to recognize the number of users that would need access to the server and how often they will access it. Also identifying the short term and long-term scalability requirements will help a lot in getting an answer to the question - how to buy a server?

Data Redundancy & Fault Tolerance: The server technology RAID helps prevent data loss and disk failures. Some businesses have strict data security requirements and data loss would imply complete loss, while for others it might not be the case. Identifying the data requirements beforehand is crucial for the choice of an apt server

Pricing: Another crucial factor to consider is the budget. Based on the budget, an appropriate blend of the storage capacity, fault tolerance and workload requirements can be picked from the available options. It is good to identify whether the price and recurring costs of the server you are narrowing down to, are within the budget or not.
