Data Center Hardware FAQ

  • Recertified equipment comes from the OEM through its “renew” divisions and programs (HPE Renew, Cisco Excess, etc.). Recertified equipment is often an unused customer return the OEM is unable to resell as “new” and overstock. This hardware typically arrives in OEM packaging and includes an OEM warranty.  
  • Refurbished hardware is sourced through IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services or a trusted vendor network. This equipment has been graded, tested, wiped and updated according to our multi-point inspection standards. Refurbished hardware doesn’t include an OEM warranty, but we often bundle solutions with our Data Center Maintenance support.  

All hardware is sent to our Technical Center, where it’s graded, tested, wiped, updated, built, configured, packaged, etc. Our practice is to test hardware in an environment similar to our customer’s, ensuring everything is up and running and properly configured.  

Our data center hardware comes from our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services and over 300+ trusted partners in our vendor network. Every piece of hardware and system we build undergoes a multi-point inspection and rigorous testing process. 

The lead time varies depending on the urgency and size of the project. The average turnaround time for delivery is two weeks after the purchase order. Contact our team for an accurate estimate.

Data Center and Network Third-Party Hardware Maintenance

    I am truly impressed with Service Express's customer service and knowledge. They explained everything in detail and answered all my questions. When there were things they could not help us with, they offered comparable options. They were very flexible on giving us time and working with us as we re-did the things we were needing. They were very patient with us throughout the whole process.

    Service Express has made it easier for us to keep our legacy hardware past the OEM support contract. When it comes time to renew most of our purchases we usually check first with Service Express to see if they can cover it. Once implemented, we have found their engineers and inventory more than adequate to meet our day to day needs for support.

    The transition to ServiceExpress was seamless. Once everything was onboarded, support continued as it should with no interruptions. Service delivery has been top notch, with minimal extensions past SLAs. The account team has been upfront with any issues that developed and track down the root cause and made corrections to make sure there was a low likelihood of a similar instance occurring. I highly recommend them for Third-Party maintenance.
