Equipment for a Software Company

If someone wants to run a business, this person certainly should own a good idea, be an optimistic, ambitious, goal-oriented etc.
In addation to all of those general points people also should think about more specific topics. One of those topics is the equipment needed for the business.
Of course every type of business needs a specific equipment, and I cannot cover equipment for every business here. Moreover every particular business within a particular type may use different equipment.
I’ll try to cover some equipment/services which are often used in software development companies.
1. The first thing is computers, obviously. Computers can be roughly divided into two categories: workstations and servers. Note: of course someone can argue: "I can run a small software business without even any workstations (except one of my own) and without any servers in of my own". — Sure you can, but it’s just not the case which is considered in this post.
1.1. Every workstation has to have the following components: a base unit with a powerful inside components; two or more monitors; a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and accessories like a keyboard, mouse, and headsets. Usually, we need to buy some extra accessories just because of wear and tear, and therefore they tend to be broken/worn out faster than other workstation components.
1.2. Servers. It actually depends on your needs. If you are going to develop and host a high-loaded applications which are supposed to be used 24/7, you’ll need a powerful servers with a high-level of fault tolerance. On the other hand if you’re going to develop pretty simple web-sites you may need no servers at all, but if after all your company needs a server for some reason, you'll also need some specific server equipment and a server room where you will place the servers.
2. Internet services. We can’t imagine a company that has no access to the word wide web. For sure every company of today has to choose an internet provider and set up an internet connection.
3. You’ll need some internet equipment like switches and routers, some ethernet cable to build your local network and to expand the internet connection almost everywhere.
4. Software. In spite of the fact that you are the company that makes software you have to buy some tools which are the software on it’s own from some Operation Systems to complicated developer tools.
5. Phone. I dont am not sure if a software company really needs telephone switching equipment, but you may need a landline phone number from your local telecom provider.

Every workstation has to consist of the following components: base unit with a powerful inside components; two or more monitors; a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and accessories like keyboard, mouse, headsets. Usually we need to buy some extra accessories just because they are more ‘close’ to us and tend to be broken/worn faster than other workstation components.
1.2. Servers. It actually depends on your needs. If you are going to develop and host a high-loaded applications which suppose to be used 24/7 you’ll need a powerful servers with a high-level of fault tolerance.
