When a growing Midwest data center began selling its services to companies that previously handled their own data center hardware, they quickly discovered a problem: the companies they worked with were initially hesitant to move their storage because of their significant investment in infrastructure.Enter OceanTech: a Minneapolis electronics recycling company focused on re-purposing high-end data center hardware, as well as computers, laptops, printers, and other electronics.OceanTech not only works direct with more than 1600 customers, including some of the nation’s largest companies, but it also has found a niche working with colocation facilities, like the Midwest data center that needed a partner to handle their customer’s equipment buy-outs.OceanTech provides buyout quotes that provide leverage to colocation facilities when prospective customers have concerns about moving to the cloud or an external infrastructure solution.When a colocation facility can solve the problem of “too much invested” by offering a source for recouping some of that investment, it makes the switch to a data center all that much easier.If your colocation facility needs a partner to handle equipment buy-outs – either your own data center hardware or that of your customers or prospects, the smartest move you can make is to contact OceanTech.The company can be reached at 612 331 4456.
