An officemate of mine is helping out a friend that is setting up a small office. Since I am the resident technical guy in our office, he asked my opinion about what to get for the server requirements of his friend. I would usually recommend a trusted brand like HP and IBM but if the budget is an issue then used xSeries servers are still a good choice.

IBM xSeries Servers are great because they are compatible with any system and you have the option to purchase the traditional tower servers or the space saving rack mounted servers. And I also recommended the site where I usually purchase them whenever I needed some equipment to use too.

He was thankful for the information that I shared for he was able to purchase the equipment that he needed at the specified budget given to him. He was even able to add a few more equipments because of the low cost of the servers. His friend was happy with the results and the savings that he had.  I am glad to help out and I’m sure that he will also be referring them to others just as I did.
