Unlocking Value: The Smart Way to Retire Your Data Center Equipment

When it comes time to decommission a data center or upgrade IT infrastructure, one of the most overlooked opportunities is the value still hidden in used equipment. Servers, switches, storage arrays, networking gear, and even Cat5 cabling can hold surprising residual value when handled correctly. Evergreen IT Solutions offers businesses a smarter, more sustainable path through our certified Data Center Equipment Buyback Program.

Why Consider Equipment Buyback?

Decommissioning a data center often means dealing with racks of outdated hardware. While the primary goal might be upgrading to faster, more efficient systems, throwing away or storing old equipment is a missed opportunity. Our buyback program helps you recover value from your retired assets, offset upgrade costs, and recycle responsibly—all while ensuring data security and environmental compliance.
