> How do businesses shop for such products
Businesses are more interested in reliability, security, price, details of the warranty, support contracts, and other details that don't show up in benchmarks.
If performance is key, they buy samples and test in their workload. Or at the enterprise scale, they might get loaner units from their vendors to evaluate. Benchmarks rarely tell the full story for unique workloads.
