Serveurs pour VMware – neufs et reconditionnés

Virtualization today is not just an option, but the foundation of modern IT infrastructure. VMware ESXi and vSphere are the most frequently chosen platforms for managing virtual machine environments – both in small businesses and extensive corporate environments. Therefore, the servers in this category have been selected specifically for real-world operation in a VMware environment: stability, performance, and expandability are standard here, not extras. If you are planning resource consolidation or building a cluster, these units are the ideal starting point.

Virtualization isn't just about "quantity," but about the balance between CPU cores, RAM, and disk throughput. That's why Hardware Direct's offering includes servers with dual Intel Xeon processors (Silver, Gold, or E5 v3/v4 series) and units with AMD EPYC chips, which offer up to 64 cores in a single CPU. A typical configuration includes 64–256 GB of DDR4 ECC RAM, expandable up to 1–2 TB – allowing multiple machines to run simultaneously without the risk of downtime. It's this freedom in resource management that allows VMware to operate as it should – that is, without bottlenecks or surprises.

Whether you are creating high-availability clusters, VDI environments, or a hybrid cloud with vCenter, the storage layer is crucial. Therefore, most of the offered servers (e.g., R740, DL380 Gen10, R7615) include configurations with SATA, SAS, or NVMe SSDs, often set up in RAID 1 or RAID 10 using controllers with cache memory (H730P, H740P, P408i-a). You also have access to 2 or more hot-plug power supplies, 4-port 1GbE network cards, and options for expansion with 10GbE SFP+ – which simplifies building an environment with replication, load balancing, and full HA. Additionally, there's remote management via iDRAC or iLO, allowing you to manage the server even without physical access – an absolute must-have in VMware environments.

Servers available in this category are fully compatible with VMware ESXi 6.7, 7.0, and 8.0 – meaning you don't have to worry about driver compatibility or support for key features. All units have undergone testing, are available as new, refurbished, or off-lease versions with full documentation and warranty, and many include ready-to-use rack rails. Importantly – most configurations allow for easy future expansion: additional hard drives, server network cards, more RAM, or even GPU support (e.g., for VDI with NVIDIA vGPU). This is hardware that grows with your environment – and won't let you down when the number of virtual machines doubles within a year.
