Your Used Servers May Still Have Value
When servers are replaced or removed from production, it’s easy for them to end up sitting in storage or getting sent straight to recycling. But depending on the manufacturer, generation, configuration, and condition, that equipment may still have significant resale value.
Our free Server Buyback Guide explains what to look for before getting rid of retired server equipment and how the buyback process works from start to finish.
Before You Recycle or Store Your Old Servers
Server hardware loses value over time, so it makes sense to have equipment evaluated when it’s taken out of service. Even if complete systems have limited demand, components such as processors, memory, storage, and other enterprise hardware may still have value on the secondary market.
The guide covers:
- What affects the resale value of used servers
- What information you’ll need to request a quote
- How the server buyback process works
- Secure handling of data-bearing equipment
- Data destruction and documentation
- Responsible reuse and recycling of retired hardware
Whether you’re replacing a few servers or clearing equipment from an entire data center, the guide will give you a better idea of what to expect and what options are available.
Have Equipment Ready to Sell?
If you already have an inventory or equipment list, send it to us. We’ll review the hardware and determine whether it has resale value based on its configuration, condition, quantity, and current market demand.
