Webinar Description
Servers are hard wearing machines that function perfectly when remanufactured from component parts. This joint research project between the University of East London and Techbuyer proved this by running experiments on power draw and compute performance of new and a variety of remanufactured machines. More than this, it also proved that the previous generation of server can outperform new if remanufactured in the correct way. This in turn turns on its head the assumption that server refreshes always have to be carried out with the latest equipment, something which has traditionally hampered the use of remanufactured machines in enterprise data centres.
Join us to hear more about this research and what it says about sensible choices when refreshing the data centre and enterprise IT infrastructure.
