Used Sun Equipment And Hardware Purchase Saved Thousands
When our company decided to switch the servers out and put in bigger ones, I suggested that we save some money by getting used sun equipment. I had recently seen an ad in the paper for a new website that sold refurbished used sun hardware and guaranteed the products that they sold too. My boss was very impressed with my knowledge of the used sun hardware and put me in charge of finding out all the prices of the items we would need to switch the servers.
I took the list home with me and started the weekend by spending four hours on the used sun equipment site figuring out all the different prices. I compared those prices to a list of new equipment and it looked as though we could possibly save over ten thousand dollars by purchasing the refurbished used sun hardware.
At work the following Monday, I reported back to my boss with the itemized price list. He was very impressed with it and ordered the computer department to use the site I had found for the server switch. I was glad to have made such a big contribution to saving money for our company. The economy today does not warrant spending money on things that you do not have to.
