Company Info


Since 1987 World Data Products has been a market leader acting as a partner for thousands of enterprise and government customers providing OEM quality refurbished server, storage, and networking solutions “on demand” and at substantial savings. 

We provide leading lines of hardware plus a full range of spare parts, maintenance, financing, lifecycle management, and asset redeployment services which increase our customers’ return on their IT investment and improve the manageability while reducing the risk and complexity of their IT operations.

We can deliver “factory fresh” and fully serviceable refurbished hardware with great value for our customers for two reasons:

  • We are one of the largest global secondary market makers in refurbished high end IT equipment and have been since our earliest days.
  • Every product we deliver to our customer has been fully reconditioned and tested at our Corporate Technical Center to meet or exceed original factory performance specifications, and every system we ship is guaranteed to qualify for third party maintenance.

Funding & Revenues

Supported by established private equity institutions, World Data Products has annual revenues of approximately $70 million, serves more than 4,000 customers worldwide, processes 4,000 transactions per month, holds a multi-million dollar inventory and employs 120 people.

Business Focus 

World Data Products helps enterprises and governments increase the yield and useful life of their IT investment and improve IT asset manageability. This is achieved in three key ways: first, by providing fully tested refurbished, used, and new hardware solutions; second, by facilitating the economical acquisition of system components and parts, upgrades and replacements; and third, by purchasing surplus hardware, thereby maximizing residual returns for customers. Unlike new IT equipment vendors, World Data Products is driven exclusively by customer requirements, responding to customer-triggered requests to source or dispose of specific systems. World Data Products customers can extend the lifecycle of existing installations and more flexibly manage, even delay upgrades, increasing return on investment (ROI) and reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).
