Data Center Sustainability

Extend Equipment Life Cycles

Recycle the hardware refresh mindset

OEM road maps and high support costs heavily influence refresh cycles rather than your actual needs. Replacing assets every 3-to-5 years generates significant environmental downsides that you can address.

When your server, storage or networking equipment is meeting demands, continue using it. You’ll avoid unnecessary replacement costs and new manufacturing carbon emissions. Extend equipment life cycles with the expert service and support savings included in our third-party maintenance (TPM) solutions.

Leverage refurbished hardware

Sustainable hardware purchasing

Bleeding edge isn’t always required or even optimal for all data centers. Reduce your e-waste and meet ongoing demands by upgrading existing systems and using refurbished or recertified hardware options.

Recycle retired assets

Reuse and recycle responsibly

When your equipment no longer meets your needs, you can prevent it from ending up in a landfill. Choose a solution that securely repurposes, recycles or disposes of your assets in an environmentally friendly way.
