IT professionals are often surprised to discover just how much a retired IBM X3550 server can bring.  When there’s a closet full of them on company property, it’s time to recoup some of the initial investment by selling them to OceanTech.OceanTech is a Minneapolis electronics recycling company that sells thousands of used electronics online every year.  The company has become the go-to place for high-quality servers and networking equipment.  It’s the first place to call when you are looking for a data center buyout or other equipment recycling.The IBM X3550 remains a popular server, and many companies are perfectly happy with a reconditioned version.  Your company’s data can be securely erased, the machine can be refurbished, and it quickly can find a new home among the more than 1600 customers who have come to rely on OceanTech both for electronics recycling and quality used equipment.The company was established to keep computer equipment out of landfills, but it’s grown to become so much more.“Our original mission was definitely a green one.  Our goal was to keep quality electronics products out of landfills by buying them, fixing them, and reselling them.  So many computers and printers are thrown out each year, but when we realized how many servers were being stored by businesses across America, we knew we could create a market for those too,” says Al Sumetsky, CEO of OceanTech.That market has definitely been created.  OceanTech is the fastest growing electronics recycling company in the country.  Fortune 500 and Fortune 1000 companies, as well as school districts and businesses both small and large call OceanTech to dispose of their unneeded equipment.“The IBM X3550 is one of our most popular resale items,” Sumetsky says.Secure data destruction, documentation, and reliable service from a company that is NAID and R2 certified has built the reputation of OceanTech.  Customers appreciate that one phone call can start the ball rolling on a recycling effort that cleans up valuable storage space and brings money back into the organization.“There is a lot of value in high-end computer equipment.  Servers like the IBM X3550 are popular items to purchase on the resale market.  Smaller businesses want the top of the line equipment that they may not be able to buy new,” Sumetsky says.If your company has a closet or storage room full of electronics and computers it no longer needs, contact OceanTech.  The company will help you dispose of it properly, in the most environmentally responsible way: by recycling it for resale.For more information, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
