HP Proliant- HP ProLiant Used Servers That Still Offer Sufficient Storage Capacity

The HP ProLiant line of servers is currently the x86 server market leader in terms of revenue and units sold.

Florida, FL (prHWY.com) February 11, 2013 - Florida, Feb 11, 2013 - The HP ProLiant line of servers is currently the x86 server market leader in terms of revenue and units sold. These severs were originally developed and marketed by Compaq, but were so popular that after acquiring Compaq, Hewlett-Packard (HP) retired its Netserver brand to focus entirely on the ProLiant line. Recently HP introduced its 8th generation ProLiant blade systems, which was good news for individuals in the market for HP ProLiant used servers. When these new servers were announced, vendors with refurbished servers for sale lowered the price of their HP ProLiant used servers. Companies that would like to acquire the capabilities of a ProLiant server without having to break the bank can instead turn to pre-owned servers.

The HP ProLiant boasts a virtual connect flex-10/10D module that helps organizations handle growing data center needs by providing improved storage capacity. This device and others in the 8th generation ProLiant line are Fibre Channel over Ethernet ready with Data Center Bridging standards compliance. Companies with less data storage needs can get by without upgrading to 8th generation machines, relying instead on inexpensive HP ProLiant used servers that still offer sufficient storage capacity.

Previous machines did not have access to a graphics processing unit (GPU), meaning that each individual 3D designer had to have his or her own blade. The WS460c blade workstation can be combined with other enterprise-level workstations, including HP Proliant used servers from prior generations, so that multiple HDX 3D Pro end-users are able to work off of a single blade. This lowers costs since fewer blades are needed on-hand to enable 3D users to complete their work. Companies that do little to no work with HDX 3D Pro will be less inclined to acquire the WS460c G6 blade workstation, and can instead obtain a single-user blade workstation inexpensively from vendors with refurbished servers for sale.

HP ProLiant servers mentioned above or a ProLiant used server from an earlier generation will come down to the company's needed capabilities. Smaller firms will be able to get by with less storage space and will not see enough of an increase in productivity from 3D designers by upgrading to a new machine.
