Sun Microsystems Server buying options!

There are five ways to address the Sun Microsystems Server acquisition equation:rn1. Buy a new Sun Serverrn2. Buy a used Sun Serverrn3. Buy a refurbished Sun Serverrn4. Buy an upgraded Sun Serverrn5. Upgrade a Sun Server yourselfrnLet’s take a look at option one. Newer technology can offer you a leg up on the competition, but at a cost. If your company needs a tax write-off, this is the best option possible and the support is usually top notch as well. rnOption two is a great way to protect your capital expenditure budget. The only caveat with this option is that you cannot expect much in the way of warranty and if the machine goes down, it can be devastating. rnWith option three you get the best of both worlds, you get a warranty, reliable machine, and you do not have the big sticker price. To help with pricing you should also consider leasing a used Sun server that can be upgraded to a more modern server after the lease is up. You also do not have to worry about service for the machine as most leasing companies will cover hardware failures. rnThe last option is definitely for people on a strict budget. However, upgrading the CPU, memory and disk drives can be an effective way to increase performance without having to break the bank. A lot of resellers will do the install themselves if you decide on a large purchase. If not, it is not that hard to do and a decent reseller can walk you through it. If you stick with original equipment, the CPU, memory and drives will be covered under their own warranty so you are not completely at risk. rnBuying refurbished might be the safest way to go, but buying upgrades is a fairly common solution to increasing performance, while at the same time protecting the budget. The final decision will be based on what jobs you are running on the server and how mission critical they are. Throw in leasing into the mix and you have a pretty good mixture of options to investigate. rnWhichever option you choose Asset Conversion Services can simplify this exercise by giving you straight answers that will help you save time and money when making a decision on the best IT option to insure your company is taken care of…… and your budget protected. rnCall Asset Conversion Services for all your Sun Server needs: 408-288-7300.
