We could probably give you 100 reasons why we believe refurbished hardware is better than new, but we know you’re busy, so for now here are 5!
- Save up to 80% on the price! 💷
Without a doubt, the number one reason to choose refurbished is the massive cost savings available compared to new! Just like a car loses its value as soon as it leaves the forecourt, IT hardware loses its value as soon as the box is opened.
We've had schools save hundreds of thousands of pounds and IT service providers save millions by choosing refurb! Many of our customers have been able to bring other IT projects forward due to having money left over from their initial budget.
- Three year warranty 🏆
Many people worry about not getting the same warranty agreements with refurbished, but we're so confident in the quality of our refurbished hardware that we offer a free 3 year warranty, including remote setup and support on all hardware. That matches and often beats OEM (original equipment manufacturer) warranties.
“After a lot of researching, I decided to purchase my HP Z600 from Intelligent Servers largely due to them having a 3-year hardware warranty with the system despite it being refurbished (most only offer 3-6 months if any). The system arrived in less than 48 hours after purchase and was extremely well packed for its journey.” – Dave Saunders, Review left on Trustpilot ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
- Performance is as good as new! 📈
We put all of our hardware through high performance testing to ensure it is performing as good as new! In fact, refurbished hardware is known to have lower RMA rates than new hardware due to every piece being tested before shipping, whereas when hardware comes straight off the factory line, it is only spot tested.
- Source parts no longer available from the OEM 🔍
Just a few weeks ago, we were able to source 10x HPE ProLiant BL460c Gen10 Blades for a bank, which have become increasingly difficult to come by since HPE switched to Synergy. After contacting dozens of suppliers, including HPE, Intelligent Servers was the only supplier able to source the Blades!
Many of our customers have had similar situations where they only need to replace one part of a Server, but they can no longer buy the parts through the OEM. If refurbished wasn’t an option, they would need to replace the entire Server!
- Environmentally friendly ♻
Refurbished IT is not just good for the pennies, it's good for the planet too! Global ewaste has risen 21% in the past 5 years, with over 50 million tonnes of ewaste being produced every year.
Choosing refurbished hardware prevents useful equipment from going to landfill and reduces the demand to mine raw materials for new IT equipment. The average age of the hardware we sell is just three years old, while the average lifetime of a Server is over 10 years.
