IT EQUIPMENT BUY-BACK

Turn Retired IT Equipment Into Recovered Value

Your servers, storage, networking equipment, and other IT infrastructure may be coming out of service — but that doesn’t mean they’ve reached the end of their value.

CTRL+V’s IT Equipment Buy-Back service helps organizations identify and recover the remaining value in decommissioned IT assets.

Whether you’re completing a technology refresh, consolidating facilities, closing a data center, or migrating infrastructure to the cloud, CTRL+V can evaluate your retired equipment and manage the process from decommissioning through final disposition.

Don't Assume It's E-Waste

Enterprise IT equipment can retain significant value after it is no longer needed in your environment.

CTRL+V evaluates decommissioned equipment based on factors including its make, model, configuration, condition, and current secondary-market demand.

Where value remains, equipment can be remarketed or recovered for parts. Where it doesn’t, CTRL+V can coordinate responsible recycling and disposition.

The result: recover as much value as possible from your IT investment while securely and responsibly managing the equipment you no longer need.

What IT Equipment Do We Buy?

CTRL+V evaluates a wide range of enterprise technology.

  • Servers & Storage: Servers, storage systems, arrays and related hardware.

Buy-Back Without Another Vendor to Manage

A buy-back involves more than determining what equipment is worth.

The hardware may still be installed in racks across one or multiple facilities. Assets need to be identified and tracked. Data-bearing devices need to be handled securely. Equipment needs to be removed, packed, and transported.

These are already core CTRL+V capabilities.

Instead of bringing in a buyer after your infrastructure project is complete, CTRL+V can integrate asset recovery directly into your decommissioning, migration, or refresh project.

How the CTRL+V Buy-Back Process Works

  1. Asset Evaluation: Provide information about the equipment being retired. CTRL+V evaluates eligible assets to determine their potential market value and recovery options.
  2. Decommissioning & Inventory: If required, CTRL+V technicians can identify, document, disconnect, and remove equipment from your environment.
  3. Secure Data Handling: Data-bearing devices can be securely erased or physically destroyed according to your security and compliance requirements. Documentation and certificates can be provided.
  4. Removal & Logistics: CTRL+V can coordinate the physical removal, packing, and transportation of equipment from your facility.
  5. Value Recovery & Final Disposition: Depending on the equipment and your requirements, assets may be remarketed, reused, refurbished, harvested for parts, or responsibly recycled. You receive documentation showing the final disposition of your assets.
