Trying To Save Money For Used Proliant Servers
Computers & Hardware December 30th, 2009If I could only keep the money in the tech fund from constantly being used for other things then I may be able to save up enough to get those used proliant servers that we so desperately need to help our office run more efficient. When our current servers go down, like they usually do, three or four times a month, then we are losing money until the repair guys can get there and get us back online.
I have asked for the three thousand dollars it would take to buy the used hp servers to replace the old ones and the higher ups always tell me that the money is just not there. Last month, I thought that we were getting pretty close and even thought about ordering the used proliant servers then but the copy machine upstairs broke down and the company chose to replace it with a big new up to date one.
I am not sure why everyone seems to just think that the used hp servers idea is not valid. I guess that they do not know how many of thousands of dollars are just going down the drain during the hours we are offline every month. I guess that I may have to write a report on it and hand it out at the next budget meeting. Maybe they will get the point then.
