So, you are in the market for a server and you are doing a little homework about whether to buy new or used. The main problem is you really aren’t quite sure what a refurbished server is exactly. That is, you need a little information about the process behind refurbishing servers so you can make an educated decision. Remember, just because a server is used, it doesn’t mean it has been refurbished. Here are the facts.

Basically, a server must meet two criteria to be considered refurbished. First, it must have been owned by at least one person. Second, it must be returned to like new condition. Pretty simple, but there is more you need to know. Reputable resellers, like ourselves, subject the servers to comprehensive testing before it even goes on the market. The servers are also thoroughly cleaned, we mean they are spot and dust free before reaching your doorstep. Servers are reset to the OEM factory settings. Lastly, refurbished servers are backed by a guarantee. If you find a company or individual who sells servers claiming to be refurbished but fail to meet the above criteria, then buyer beware.
