Scope

What we buy

Server hardware from server rooms and data centers, from recently retired systems to faulty units and servers written off as scrap, valued at the configuration level.

Selling server memory or drives on their own? See loose drives and memory.

We buy servers from businesses and individual sellers in all seven emirates. See our service areas.

  • Rack servers

    1U, 2U and larger rack-mounted servers.

  • Tower servers

    Free-standing servers from offices and smaller server rooms.

  • Blade servers and chassis

    Blade enclosures and the blades installed in them.

  • Components installed in the servers

    Processors, memory and drives sold as part of the servers they are fitted in.

Situations

When businesses sell servers

The situations that usually put this equipment on a sale list. If yours is not here, the process is the same.

  • End of warranty or support

    Servers reach the end of their support contract and are replaced on schedule.

  • Virtualization and consolidation

    Workloads move onto fewer, more powerful hosts, leaving the older servers surplus.

  • Cloud migration

    Applications move to the cloud and on-premises servers are retired.

  • Server-room closure

    An office move or consolidation closes a server room and its hardware has to go.

  • Data-center refresh or decommissioning

    A refresh or decommissioning project you are running leaves racks of servers to sell.

  • Servers held as scrap

    Old servers written off after a migration and left in a store room or an empty rack.

Valuation

What affects the valuation

We value from the details you send. These are the factors that move the figure for this category. No two lots are the same, so we do not publish prices.

Model and generation
The server platform and its generation set the baseline.
Processors
CPU model and the number of processors installed.
Memory
Total RAM and the size of the installed modules.
Drives
Whether drives are included, and their type and capacity, or removed.
Controllers and cards
RAID controllers and network cards fitted in the server.
Power supplies
Redundant power supplies and their condition.
Rails and bezels
Mounting rails and front bezels make a server more complete.
Identical configurations
Several servers with the same configuration are simpler to value.
Working status
Whether the servers were working when they were taken out of service.

The full IT asset buyback process
  1. Step 01

    Share your equipment details

  4. Step 04

    Complete the sale

    Once you accept the valuation, the sale is completed on the agreed terms.

Data-bearing devices

Servers sold with drives or RAID arrays may still hold data. Handle them under your organization's own data policy, and tell us whether drives are included or removed.

Servers: common questions

Do you buy faulty or non-working servers?

Yes. Faulty, non-working and written-off servers are part of what we buy, as well as working systems. Send the configuration as far as you know it and note which units fail to boot or report hardware faults; where records are missing, photos of the labels are a good start.

Can we request a valuation while the servers are still racked and running?

Yes. The valuation is based on the configuration details you send, so you can request it before switch-off. Tell us whether each server is still installed, and the planned decommissioning date if you have one. Our guide to selling used servers covers planning the sale around a migration.

Why does the number of identical configurations matter?

Ten identical servers can be assessed, tested and resold as one group, while ten different builds are ten separate valuations. List a quantity for each configuration rather than one line per server.

Do rails, bezels and power supplies make a difference?

They can. Servers that come with their redundant power supplies, rails and front bezels are more complete and generally easier to resell. Note what is included for each configuration.
