Server Buying Guide for Growing Businesses

The right server supports your business for years; the wrong one frustrates or overspends. Here's how to choose.

Form factor

Tower servers suit small offices; rack servers fit data centres and scale better. Consider where it will live and how much you'll grow.

Sizing it right

Match CPU cores, RAM and storage to your workloads — virtualisation and databases need more of each. Plan redundancy with dual power supplies and RAID, and leave room to expand.

Don't forget support

Warranty and support tiers matter for business-critical servers. Al-Gazelle supplies enterprise servers and helps size them to your needs.
