A: A great question we’ve outlined here Unraveling the Differences: Refurbished vs. Recertified Products from Dell and HPE

A: ProLiant is a brand of server computers that was originally developed and marketed by Compaq and currently marketed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). After Compaq merged with Hewlett-Packard (HP), HP retired its NetServer brand in favor of the ProLiant brand.

HPE ProLiant servers are designed for various workloads and come with intelligent management features, offering excellent performance, efficiency, and security. HPE ProLiant servers offer various benefits including improved performance, enhanced security, and operational efficiency.

To illustrate, let’s say you’re building a server. With the OEMs from Synergy’s programs, you can choose to incorporate both new and remanufactured parts into your server build.
