Fact check: 15 advantages of used HPE ProLiant rack servers

Go for new or used hardware? ProLiant or another model? If I opt for a refurbished device - what are the advantages? We have summarised 15 reasons why you should opt for used HPE ProLiant rack servers from your hardware professional, Serverando.de:

1. cost savings
As with all refurbished hardware products, the cost factor is also a significant advantage here - because new goods are often expensive in the professional sector. Refurbished HPE servers from a professional IT remarketing company are not only more cost-effective, but you also have the security of receiving a flawless, thoroughly tested device.

Would you like to find out more about the refurbishing process at our in-house technical centre "ETA-C"? Then visit our company website. There you will find useful information on the purchase process and the refurbishing procedure.
2. individually configurable
With our server configurator, you can configure your desired server directly online - quickly and easily. We have already determined which parts are compatible with the respective model in a pre-selection for you. Depending on the required server sizing, you can thus fulfil your individual requirements and put together a server that precisely meets the needs of your company. A functional and plausibility check before dispatch is of course included.
3. directly available
Almost all of the devices offered in our shop are directly available - including the (individually configured) HPE servers - if parts have to be purchased, this is indicated in the delivery time. Companies from the surrounding area (Regensburg) can even order servers and components directly from us in an "emergency".

You can find more information on shipping/collection in our FAQ.
4. international shipping
We deliver the servers offered in the shop not only within Germany, but also to many other EU countries such as Italy, Spain, Denmark or the Netherlands.

You can find more information on this in our payment and shipping conditions.
5. maximum performance & efficiency
This is what the HPE ProLiant series servers stand for.
6. scalability
Is your company growing? Do you need to be able to quickly and easily adapt your hardware to new circumstances and requirements? HPE ProLiant servers are characterised in particular by their flexibility and scalability.

For example, we have summarised how to select the right modules for a RAM upgrade in your server in one of our previous blog posts. You can find it here.
7. Reliable & durable
The servers in the HPE ProLiant family also stand for this. Hardware features such as redundant power supplies and fans, as well as the hot-plug capability of these and the hard drives, guarantee a high level of reliability. In addition, the servers have been specially designed for 24/7 operation and are therefore particularly durable.
8. simple administration & maintenance
Your IT admin will be thankful 😉. HPE ProLiant servers stand for simple management and easy access to components (often even without tools). Server maintenance and upgrades can therefore be carried out quickly and easily.
9. Optimised performance
HPE servers can be used for a wide range of workloads - the different architectures and configurations offer application possibilities for databases, data centres or edge computing.
10. server & storage from a single source
In addition to a wide range of HPE ProLiant server models, we also offer a large selection of storage systems to match your server in our shop.
11. optional warranty extension
If you want long-term security - or are a "newcomer" to used hardware and want to give it a try, but want absolute security - we recommend our warranty extensions. Depending on the response time and scope of services, we have divided these into "Bronze", "Silver" and "Gold" and you can insure your new server for 1, 2, 3 or 5 years.

12. density-optimised
Do you need a lot of computing power and capacity in a limited space? HPE ProLiant servers are characterised by their high density - so you can use the available space efficiently.

In addition to compact 1U and 2U rack servers, you will also find blade servers from HPE in our shop.
13. parts available
In our shop, we not only offer you fully equipped or configurable servers, but also a large selection of server parts and server spare parts. Missing rails, a stronger CPU, more RAM, HDDs or SSDs with more capacity - all available from us.

You can find these in the "Components" category.
