[ 5 ] Physical server Nowadays, it's very easy
to find used physical servers for an affordable price. Dell
PowerEdge is a very common model, and the R610 and R710 specifically are good
choices that are readily available. These servers are commonly made available in
the reseller market after companies upgrade to newer models. The R610 and R710
are a bit old, but their specs are still great for testing purposes. The downside with
physical servers is that they take up a lot of room and can often be power-hungry.
Make sure to shut them down when not in use and look into the cost of electric
services in your area—these servers can be very cheap to run or very expensive,
depending on your electricity rates.
