Server buyout

Do you have decommissioned servers or server racks that are no longer in use? Don’t let them take up valuable space or gather dust in your data center. Reuzado handles your old servers professionally, we collect them, perform certified data destruction, and give them a sustainable second life whenever possible.

From individual rack servers to complete server cabinets, we buy out servers in all volumes and ensure secure processing from start to finish.

How does the server buyout process work?

1. Registration and technical overview

Send us a list of the servers, configurations and quantities. A rough inventory is fine. Based on that, we assess the buyout potential and send you a non-binding estimate of the residual value.

2. Collection and transport

Our certified staff collect the servers, including racks, cabling and peripherals if needed. Equipment is transported in sealed vehicles with traceable tracking systems.

3. Intake, inventory and data erasure

Upon arrival, all servers are logged and registered. Storage media are wiped using Blancco or physically destroyed, depending on the condition. This is essential for servers containing sensitive data or RAID setups.

4. Reuse or recycling

Usable systems are refurbished by our IT specialists. Other components, such as power supplies, motherboards, and fans are responsibly recycled through WEEELABEX-certified partners.

5. Reporting and documentation

You receive a clear report with serial numbers, data processing method and, if applicable, a revenue summary. Ideal for your internal documentation or audits.

The benefits of selling your old servers

Outdated servers can still hold surprising value. By selling them professionally, you free up space, reduce data security risks and recover value from decommissioned equipment.

We manage the entire process with care, including secure data destruction. Reusable parts are given a second life, while everything else is responsibly recycled. You receive clear documentation and have a single point of contact throughout.

Why data destruction is crucial for servers

Old servers often store sensitive business information, configurations, backups or client data. Even after formatting, data from RAID drives can still be recovered. That’s why we ensure data destruction using certified software or physical shredding of all storage media. You receive a certificate for each drive or server unit, fully GDPR compliant and audit-ready.

Also for complete server room clear-outs

Planning to decommission a full server room or migrate to the cloud? We take care of everything, not just the servers but also cables, UPS units, racks, switches and other equipment. We can dismantle systems on site and ensure everything is removed securely and professionally.
