Nobody has to tell you that servers are a huge expense for a startup. While a CTO might dream of the bank upon bank of softly humming servers, the shiny-new Mercedes price tag meeting a 2006 Toyota Corolla budget can be ugly. One solution to getting your startup to the launch pad is able to tell wants from needs. You don’t need the latest and greatest – you do need your gear to be reliable and to give you the most bang for your buck. Used Oracle servers and components give the performance and security a young company needs at a price that won’t bust the budget.
Hang Onto Your Wallet
Processors are the central nervous system of your server. Without them, you have an expensive paperweight. Choosing the right processor can also drive which server you deploy. SPARC M7 processors are one of the processors of choice when deploying Sun servers. Even if the M7 was first introduced in 2014, it remains a choice processor not only for exceptional speed and security but because the SPARC M7 price often beats that of a comparable Intel Xeon. The SPARC M7 processor worked with Oracle and Sun hardware and was specifically developed to handle the heavy load of work that a server demands without slowing or sacrificing security.
Skip eBay
When trying to buy used gear, it makes sense that you’d do a lot of looking around for the best price, but going with an established dealer is a better bet than a here-today-gone-tomorrow seller on eBay or Craigslist. The SPARC M7 price makes it a great value along with SPARC servers, but only if you’re dealing with a reputable dealer who is going to be there when you need them. Work with a company experienced with Oracle and Sun for the best used M7 processors and related equipment.
