Buy Refurbished IT Equipment
Buying refurbished data center equipment and IT assets has many benefits. Most equipment has a lot of life left long after its retired, saving your IT budget tremendously over buying new. Buying new gear has its advantages of course, but it’s not always necessary, and should never be your only option.
Reliability
It’s a misunderstanding that refurbished IT equipment means it is less reliable than buying new equipment. However, not all refurbished products are equal. That is why we make it a point to test our equipment, communicate thoroughly, and remain transparent.
Savings
With today’s the rapid advances in technology, hardware can depreciate in only a matter of years. That doesn’t always mean it’s obsolete. Buying just a lightly used next-gen server can cut the upfront cost by 20-30%, with older servers offering even more substantial savings.
Support
Buying refurbished equipment doesn’t mean it comes without support. Third party maintenance (TPM) has been found to have great value and is significantly cheaper than mainstream support. With a single point of contact for all of your support, you eliminate the need for multiple service providers if you choose to use hardware from multiple vendors. Our refurbished equipment also comes with a worry-free, no-hassle return if you’re not satisfied.
Performance
When weighing the pros and cons of buying refurbished equipment, it’s important to take into account the hardware in the perspective of a larger market. It’s understandable that the newer generations of hardware will offer more powerful computing power, but it may be worth considering how much power you really need for your workloads.
