For most small and mid-sized workloads a refurbished server does the same job for much less money. Virtualisation hosts, file servers and domain controllers rarely need the latest platform. Buy new, or the newest generation available, when you need the longest possible firmware support, the highest core counts or PCIe Gen4 devices. ServerDove sells both, and refurbished units are tested before they are listed.

Height in the rack. A 1U server is 1.75 inches tall and packs two processors and a full set of memory slots into the least space. A 2U server has room for more drive bays, more PCIe slots and full-height or double-width cards such as GPUs. Choose 1U for density and 2U for storage and expansion.

A barebone is a server chassis supplied without some or all of the processors, memory and drives, so you can complete it to your own specification. What is included varies by listing, so read the title and description. If you would rather receive a working server, the team can build and test a configuration for you before delivery.

For VMware, Hyper-V or Proxmox hosts, the Xeon Scalable generation (Dell 14th generation, HPE Gen10) is the usual choice: high core counts, plenty of DDR4 slots and hypervisor support that is still current. Xeon E5 v3/v4 machines remain fine for smaller clusters and labs. Check that your hypervisor version supports the processor before you buy.

Not always. Memory type, processor socket, drive caddy, backplane, controller and firmware all differ between brands and generations. We do not assume compatibility. Send the model or service tag of the server, and the parts you want to reuse, and the team will confirm what fits before you order.

Yes. Servers ship from stock in Doha and delivery across Qatar is typically one day. Installation, racking, cabling and base configuration are available as a service, so the server can arrive ready to join your network. Ask for this when you request a quote.
