When you are considering buying a refurbished server from ServerWorlds, there are a few questions you should ask before making a purchase. It won’t do you much good to buy a refurbished Sun Server or HP server that doesn’t work for your needs. You need to know how much data the server will be able to handle or what types of applications you need to run. If you don’t have enough disk space then productivity and efficiency will suffer. But how much disk space do you actually need?

User Number

There is a very distinct correlation between how much hard drive space and RAM you will need and how many users will be accessing the server. If the number of users exceed the amount of virtual memory available, the system will be forced to compensate by tapping into the physical disk space which will impact the performance of the server.

Application Demands

The types of programs and applications the server will need to handle is another important factor to consider. Disk quotas can be applied and tracked, ultimately controlling how much disk space each user on the network has access to. That way, individual users won’t max out the amount of memory available by themselves, leaving enough juice for the rest of the network.

Servers are designed to host shared applications and resources to computers on a network. It is responsible for processing websites, databases, email, files and applications, and a variety of other apps and processes. The amount of hard drive space and RAM that your particular server will need is dependent on various things, and it is important to understand those requirements before making a purchase.
