I am in search for the best used iSeries servers but I have to make sure that IBM iSeries features and systems are professionally tested and restored by professional technicians. All of these needs were answered when I had business with a certain site that has to offer various IT equipments as well as iSeries components and replacement parts. Another good thing about this selling site is that they could also offer the best maintenance service that I also need to be efficient when it comes to providing my client’s needs.

The power supply that I destroyed was a pSeries, and pSeries  Power Supplies can be expensive. Luckily, IBM is selling used IBM pSeries. I immediately ordered one when I saw the pSeries power supply and even bought other used IBM pSeries. I don’t really worry too much on buying used products because I trust the company IBM and almost all of their products have a warranty, even though they are refurbished.

We were now faced with a dilemma on how to go about this concern.  Good thing, I was able to relay this to the company where we will be purchasing some IBM iSeries servers as a replacement for the old ones we were disposing.  When they learned about this, they offered to take a look at it to see if it was still valuable for them and we may even get something in exchange for it.   Being the head of the project, any rebates is very much welcome.  That was what we got after they took all the old equipment to be processed.  Problem solved for us and we even got something in return for it.

In my case, since I have been served well by HP since time immemorial, I am using HP Storage solution. It has been a very efficient partner, and it has never disappointed me or any of my employees. It was able store our growing database, and it has even duplicated every single one of them. This a human being cannot do, or if otherwise, not as efficient.

Currently, I am specifically using HP NAS or the HP Network Attached Storage. Actually, I was using the blade system before, but I decided to switch to NAS, not really because on is better that the other, but simply because I want change. Next year, maybe I will be using a different storage facility again, but rest assured that it will still be HP.

IBM Storage is a really great solution for offices.  However, buying a brand new one can be very expensive as we were shown the pricelist for their brand new equipment.   We could not very well afford them so we are planning in doing an alternative solution for our requirement.  But the technical guy in the office gave the idea of using used and refurbished equipment for our solution.  We would still be able to get the brand that we want at a way lesser cost than buying a brand new one.

He was tasked to look for a supplier and he referred this site that he is a frequent customer of.  They do have used IBM equipment for sale but are refurbished to be in good working condition.  We purchased only a few to test them out and we got great results for it. We highly recommend them.

IBM servers have a menu driven interface, multi user support, DBMS (DB2/400), IBM 5250 as its dumb terminal support, communications and even web-based applications which also can be implemented on its own IBM Web Sphere App server or by a native port through Apache server; it is Java compatible and has Integrated File Systems similar to Unix; could process information through Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino, TIMI-run instruction set, and reads many programming languages. Now, with those highlights mentioned, if your IT is looking for a stable and powerful server, wouldn’t you think that IBM is right for you? Of course, you may have to invest much for such a machine, but it’s all worth it. Furthermore, you could also look at tech stores that sell Used IBM iSeries Servers so you could experience its capabilities without spending a lot.

I called a coworker of mine and asked him if he knew how to install used poweredge servers and he told me that he had done it once before but that it takes a long time. I asked him how much he would charge me to do it and he said that it would not be too much as long as I helped him out. I explained the situation of my friend and the cheap used servers that he had bought and that he did not have much money for the installation fees but I would make up the difference.

We started the work on the installation of the used poweredge servers the next morning and it took us about twelve hours to get all the lines run to the right spots and then to get everything hooked up where it should be. My friend did not have all the necessary materials, so a couple of trips to the store were included in the twelve hour installation time as well.

When I contacted a manager at the computer company, she was very nice but also informed me that once the used hp servers left their warehouse, they were not their concern anymore. I wanted to reach through the phone and smack her but that would not have done me much good. I called two local repair shops that fixed computers and explained the situation to them. They asked me what kind of servers that they were and I informed them that they were used proliant servers.

The guy was very nice and said that more than likely; the insides of the used hp servers were fine even if the outside had been dinged up a bit. He told me that we should try and install them first, before just assuming that they might now work.

The company we used to have, had to have come out here at least ten times a month to repair something and each time we called them they charged us a trip charge. I would think that since we bought two new poweredge servers from them, they would be more likely to give us the prices we had before.

I am going to put all of my thoughts in a letter and then fax it over to the salesman who is in charge of our account over there and remind him of the great commission he made on the poweredge servers. I am hoping that he can set the prices or convince whoever is in charge that we deserve to have the prices from before or else we will have to take our business elsewhere.

Here, it is worth mentioning that different routers come with different power and potential to satisfy users. Considering this particular fact, most people try to upgrade their routers and that’s when they look for a company to sell their old routers. If you are also one of those persons who currently want to sell their routers, you must consider paying a visit to CiscoDealer.com.

They don’t only help you in buying different types of Cisco products but they also allow you to sell your own routers, switches, firewalls, concentrators, etc. Moreover, you can also consider them for Cisco repair service.
