Server Barebones Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a server barebone?

A server barebone is a partially assembled server system. It typically includes the chassis (case), motherboard, and power supply. Sometimes it might also include a pre-installed network card or backplane.

What components are not included in a typical server barebone?

Typically, a server barebone does not include:

  • CPU(s) (Central Processing Units)
  • RAM (Random Access Memory)
  • Storage devices (HDDs or SSDs)
  • Operating System (OS)

Sometimes, but less often: RAID controller, additional network cards, or specific expansion cards.

Why would someone choose to buy a server barebone instead of a fully configured server?

Customisation: It allows users to select and install components that precisely meet their specific needs and budget.

Cost Savings: Often, buying barebone and sourcing components separately can be more cost-effective than purchasing a pre-configured server, especially if you have existing compatible hardware.

Flexibility: You can choose the brand, speed, and capacity of the CPU, RAM, and storage.

Familiarity: IT professionals may prefer to work with specific brands or types of components they are familiar with.

Scalability: It provides a foundation for future upgrades and expansions.
