It happens all the time: a data center is upgrading and has used equipment to get rid of it. The first thought is often to attempt to sell it themselves. While the idea may sound good, in reality, it’s not easy.Obviously, data centers that want to sell outdated equipment or help their prospects sell their equipment prior to upgrading and moving to the data center have the right idea. In theory, it sounds great. In reality, it’s a lot harder than you’d think.Unless, of course, you are in the business of selling high-end hardware like electronics recycling company OceanTech, which is why OceanTech is reaching out to data centers and colocation facilities nationwide with its offer to buy used equipment.“We’re in the recycling business, and for us that means resale,” says Al Sumetsky of OceanTech.OceanTech has data center electronics recycling, environmentally responsible practices, and secure data destruction accreditations. The company offers a secure chain of possession on equipment, online reporting services, and logistics solutions that can even service an organization globally if needed.According to Sumetsky, “Our highly developed and rapidly growing redistribution network allows us to specialize in refurbishing and re-marketing used IT hardware, which ensures that you get the maximum return on your surplus equipment.”OceanTech customers include colocation facilities as well as direct clients, like Thomson Reuters, Great Clips, Kroll Ontrack – Altegrity, Life Time Fitness, and hundreds more.
