We buy old servers & network gear.

Rack and tower servers. Switches, routers, firewalls, wireless. Patch panels, racks, UPS, the lot. Whether you're decommissioning a server room or migrating to cloud, we'll quote on what's left.

What we look at

Standard enterprise kit.

↳ Servers
  • Dell PowerEdge — R, T, M, MX series
  • HPE ProLiant — DL, ML, BL, Apollo
  • Lenovo ThinkSystem — SR, ST, SD
  • Cisco UCS
  • Supermicro SuperServer
  • Fujitsu PRIMERGY
↳ Storage / NAS
  • Synology / QNAP
  • NetApp FAS
  • HPE MSA / Nimble
  • Dell PowerVault / Compellent
↳ Switches & routing
  • Cisco Catalyst & Meraki MS
  • HPE Aruba — CX, ProCurve
  • Juniper EX
  • Ubiquiti UniFi — switches, gateways, APs
  • Netgear ProSafe / Insight

Plus the rest: rack cabinets, KVM switches, UPS units (APC, Eaton, CyberPower), PDUs, patch panels, structured cabling, fibre patches, transceivers, line cards, blanking panels, even rack rails. The boring bits often have parts value at scale.

Decommission projects

If you're emptying a server room.

↳ Site survey

For larger jobs, we can come and walk through the room first. Inventory, photos, condition notes. No charge.

Cloud migration projects often leave a server room half-full of kit nobody's responsible for any more. We deal with the whole thing — servers, network, racks, cables, UPS — in one go.

Drives get wiped to NIST 800-88 spec on-site if needed (we bring the equipment). Or we collect locked, wipe at our end, certificate per drive emailed to you. Either works.

Cabling and rack waste we recycle responsibly. We'll send you a disposal note for the bits with no resale value, in case your audit needs it.

Worth knowing

A few specifics for server rooms.

Are licences transferable?

Mostly no — Windows Server, VMware, Veeam, most enterprise software is licensed to your org and not transferable. Cisco IOS / Meraki licences are tied to your dashboard. We sell kit as bare hardware. Our buyers re-license in their own name.

What about smart cards, HSMs, things with embedded crypto?

Mention these specifically. HSMs, crypto-modules, smart card readers, SecurID tokens — we either physically destroy them with a destruction certificate, or hand back to you for your own destruction process if you'd rather. We don't resell anything with embedded keys.

Meraki / cloud-managed kit?

Release the device from your dashboard before collection. We can't resell Meraki gear that's still claimed in your org. Same for Aruba Central, Cisco DNA Center, FortiGate Cloud — release first.

Tape libraries / very old kit?

Tape libraries depend on age and brand. LTO-7+ generally has buyers; older formats are usually parts-only or recycle-only. Send the model and we'll be straight.

Rack cabinets — you'll really take those?

Yes, if they're in working order. APC, Tripp Lite, Schneider, Rittal, Vertiv, HPE, Dell-branded. The boring stuff sells well to MSPs setting up new sites. Mention dimensions (U count) and we'll quote.

Decommissioning a server room?

Send a rough inventory or just photos of the rack. We'll come back with a ballpark and arrange a site survey for larger jobs.
