Do not ignore cost control?

Today, I have been busy purchasing a Dell poweredge for a day, and I have never been able to buy it at the end, so I am depressed.

The current project needs to purchase an entry-level server. I don't know how to do it. The first reaction was to go to the Dell website. Coincidentally, the reference configuration sheet sent by my colleagues was also Dell. After reading the configuration, I have finalized a poweredge sc440. The message I got when I was about to ask is to help with procurement is true. The company is not allowed to purchase servers other than IBM! The reason is that the support of other servers cannot keep up.

Me: "Why ?, Are HP and Dell servers both good? What we need is Dell."
Is mm: "sorry, we just issued a notice that the group is not allowed to purchase other servers, and IBM still has requirements, as you can consider X-3650 in the current situation. The price is a little expensive, but it is also out of performance and data security considerations ...... "

I'm faint. Do you know the requirement?
Of course I can also buy an IBM X-3650 at no cost, get two quad core CPUs at no cost, get a RAID 5...

We only need an entry-level server for the sake of stability. Why do we have to force me to spend RMB more? If it is said that the support of other families cannot keep up with me, there is nothing to say, at least to configure a lower choice for me.

Results Of course we do not buy accounts, buy an HP commercial PC to deal with the calculation, a big deal for a problem, the price of X-3650 at least can buy 5 pcs.

Our company claims to be world-class in management and design. How can we achieve this in terms of cost control?
Let's take a look at it. Cost Down can be done in many ways, and it is not a perfect quality.
