> "White Box Servers Increase Savings and Margins

Most people think of desktop systems when they hear the phrase “white box,” but the fact is that white boxes are increasingly finding their way into the server market. According to IDC, white box servers “continue to prosper below the radar of the companies that dominate the field.”

It makes sense. Like desktops, white box servers provide more choices without sacrificing performance. You can hand-select the processor, memory, storage, fans, or chassis brands and models to match specific needs. And white box servers provide wider margins for VARs while delivering excellent ROI for customers.

Customized Solutions and Support
Increasing segmentation and specialization in many industries means that one size no longer fits all. Many VARs and system builders are discovering that the success of their business depends on their ability to serve the unique needs of their clients. Going the white box route is an ideal way to customize servers for specific vertical markets, adding specialized software and remote management to appeal to existing customers and win new ones.

Another advantage system builders can offer is personal, local support. “The server market in the white box area has only continued to get stronger,” said Doug Daniel, CEO of NASBA, a professional trade organization. “It’s not a commodity at all. It’s a relationship-driven model.” Providing hands-on support is an excellent way to build and strengthen relationships. "
