Coup 123: How to squeeze out the "every drop of oil" of the server

As long as the enterprise is using information technology, there is no server involved. But for many companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, the cost of servers is relatively high. How to make full use of the server and maximize its value? This article will tell you how to squeeze out the "every drop of oil" of the server.

Downgrading to use old servers

SMEs are also in need of growth and development, and server procurement is essential. In this case, the purchase of IT equipment requires careful calculation, especially the server. Procuring easy-to-use, adequately-used, simple-to-maintain, stable and reliable servers can reduce overall costs for the enterprise. In addition to considering the price is relatively affordable, in terms of performance, scalability, management and availability, it is also a good idea to consider the old servers that have been eliminated and not to be thrown away and downgraded.

Recycling Recycling Resources

People are used to linking servers to large enterprises only. In fact, more and more SMEs are choosing server-based networks to simplify applications. In addition to more traditional applications such as document storage and networking, enterprises are strengthening their professional applications such as customer relationship management and e-commerce. These applications are not as efficient as servers on the desktop. The demand for servers has increased, and the generation of e-waste has intensified. The electronic components of the server are much more complicated than a PC. It is believed that many original devices can be reused. If there is a professional recycling company, the state will further regulate the process of e-waste, and for the server alone, it will be able to obtain some renewable resources.

Avoiding the server in a short time

Retiring an old server is not as easy as throwing away a PC. It is best if the old server can work in another place, but if it doesn't, it needs to be disassembled. Depending on the level of security, measures that can be taken include destroying the hard drive, then handing it over to the recycler, handing it to the recycler for destruction in a strictly controlled manner, or using the hard drive information removal tool to clear the data.

I believe that many companies have little experience in the selection of information servers. The relationship between common applications and server choices is often ambiguous, making applications less desirable. Some companies may replace new equipment. This is because the result of not knowing the product and application requirements will inevitably lead to the increase of e-waste. Therefore, how to make the electronic equipment have a longer life cycle and avoid eliminating electronic equipment in a short time. The common responsibility of each manufacturer and consumer.

Server recycling is a long way to go

The recycling of old servers is more important than PCs and mobile phones. Although everyone knows that the recycling of e-waste is meaningful, it is beneficial to both environmental protection and industrial progress, but it is very difficult to implement. In theory, electronic product companies are responsible for electronic waste recycling, which enables companies to improve product design and use less toxic substances, making products easier to upgrade and recycle. Moreover, companies that design and manufacture these electronic products are best aware of their product structure and material use, and are best suited for their electronic waste recycling. But recycling is not something that a company can do. It requires multiple upstream and downstream companies to work together. In the formal equipment manufacturers, about half of the equipment investment and production costs of used household appliances are used for environmental protection. Hand workshops to dismantle a computer to earn one or two hundred dollars, the formal way is basically not making money or even losing money. On the one hand, the recycling work is very professional, and the other consumer is also worried that the old machine recovered by the manufacturer will be reworked for sale.
