Rack Servers
Rack servers in 19-inch format are the standard form factor for server cabinets and data centers. 1U models such as the Dell PowerEdge R640 or HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 save rack units, while 2U models such as the R740 or DL380 Gen10 offer more drive bays, PCIe slots and room for GPUs. We supply refurbished rack servers with your choice of processors, RAM, SSDs or hard drives, RAID controller or HBA, network cards, redundant power supplies and matching rails. Before ordering, check the usable depth of your cabinet (many models are 70 to 80 cm deep), the available power and the location: rack servers are built for server rooms, not offices. Every system is cleaned, updated to current firmware, checked and tested. Warranty is 12 to 36 months; businesses can buy on invoice.
