E-waste

Good hardware deserves a second life

In many companies a server is written off after three to five years, not because it is broken but because the books say so. The hardware itself, a Xeon with ECC memory and redundant power, can run under load for years more. We put those servers back to work for as long as there is demand.

And when a configuration can no longer be sold, we do not throw it away. We rebuild the system into a more modern combination: a new mainboard with a new processor in the same chassis, with the same power supply, drives, memory and caddies. Only the old mainboard and the old CPU go to recycling.

Why refurbished

What you get, and what you do not give up

Refurbished is not second choice. This is what it means.

  • Lower price. Proven hardware that has already been written off; you do not pay for the new price.
  • Server hardware. Xeon processors, ECC memory and redundant power, built to run for years.
  • Same data centre and network. Ede or Naaldwijk, our own AS211588, the same uplink as a new server.
  • Same control. IPMI, root and your own ISO. There is no refurbished version of our support.
  • Less e-waste. Every server that lasts longer is one that does not have to be produced, and what comes free afterwards we reuse.

Standard configurations

The configurations below are a starting point. More memory, different storage, a faster uplink or another operating system: every server can be adjusted.

How it works

What happens to a server as it ages

Four steps, from first sale to the last screw.

  1. 01

    For sale as long as possible

    A server that is technically sound stays available, even a generation on. That is this RF line.

  2. 02

    No longer sellable? Rebuild

    When a configuration can no longer be sold, we rebuild the system into a more modern combination.

  3. 03

    Everything good carries on

    Chassis, power supply, memory, drives and caddies are reused in the new build.

  4. 04

    Only mainboard and CPU are recycled

    The old mainboard and the old processor are the only parts that leave, and they go to a certified recycler.

With every server

What every dedicated server comes with

Dutch data centres

Your server lives at BIT in Ede or Greenhouse in Naaldwijk. You choose.

Our own network

Traffic over our own AS211588, with a core at two Amsterdam sites and connections to more than 600 networks.

Full control

IPMI access, root and your own ISO. Windows or Linux, you decide what runs on it.

Direct contact with engineers

No call centre. You talk to the people who manage the network and the servers themselves.

Refurbished configurations

Standard configurations you can order right away. The range changes with what becomes available; if nothing is listed, ask what is coming up.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about refurbished servers

Question not listed? Get in touch, we are happy to think along.

Not in practice. It is server hardware with ECC memory and redundant power, built to run under load for years. If something does fail, the same handling applies as with a new server: we replace the part, you keep your data.

The hardware generation and the price. A refurbished Xeon E5 has more cores per euro but a lower clock speed and DDR4 instead of the latest standard. Network, data centre, IPMI and support are identical.

We rebuild it. The chassis, power supply, memory, drives and caddies carry on in a new build with a modern mainboard and processor. Only the old mainboard and the old CPU are recycled.

Because the range depends on what becomes available. If nothing is listed, tell us what you are looking for; we will let you know as soon as a suitable server is free.
