DATA CENTER DECOMMISSIONING SERVICES

Do you work in the Cloud? Are you about to refresh servers, storage and network hardware? Before you decommission and recycle your old data center equipment you might be pleasantly astonished to hear how much your old tech is currently worth. The second-hand data center hardware market is booming! Even network equipment as old as 6 or even 7 years of age is selling. This is partly due to the last few turbulent years causing shortages in the global supply chains. Although we are on the road to a recovery, the data center hardware crisis is still playing out, especially in terms of the availability of critical IT components.

With this shortage of IT hardware in mind, don’t be discouraged if you are considering selling older, used data center equipment. After all, items such as enterprise servers can still be stripped down and sold for parts. In fact, there is an extremely high demand for buying second hand rack-mountable, blade and even tower servers from brands like Dell, HP & Supermicro. The same is true for network equipment such as switches made by CISCO, Meraki, Juniper, Aruba and Arista.

“SELLING USED DATA CENTER SERVERS”

Most computer recycling businesses will only make a tiny amount of money from reclaiming the materials found in IT hardware. There is no question that it is far more cost beneficial to refurbish and sell racks of used data center servers than to recycle them. If you are considering selling your data center servers and network equipment our ITAD company buys all brands, makes and models of decommissioned hardware. If you’d like an idea of the value of your old equipment you can use our online IT asset valuation calculator: CLICK HERE.

“SELLING USED NETWORK EQUIPMENT”

Network equipment such as hubs, switches, routers, bridges and gateways tend to get cleared out whenever rows of rack servers and storage systems are being refreshed. If your office or data center is planning on selling its retired switches and network hardware our ITAD company will usually buy decommissioned CISCO, Juniper and Arista networking equipment.

“SELLING USED COMPUTING COMPONENTS”
