This post provides some tips on available features and buying used server racks.

2021 Asset Recovery Inventory Note: We have a large inventory of server racks at this time and are not looking to buy individual racks. We are interested in racks full of servers!

Server Rack Sizes and Features? Customers value a server rack that is well built, has good cable management, ventilation, and can be secured. Data center server racks come in many sizes, 36U and 42U are common, with 42U likely being the most common height. Cabinet features vary by manufacturer and can include a built-in PDU for power distribution and surge protection, cable management, locking doors, adjustable mounting solutions, casters, leveling feet, and secure side panels depending on the security requirements or cooling and ventilation needs of the hardware.

Warranty? Like most refurbished products, any used server rack that you purchase should come with a warranty. Reputable hardware resellers stand behind their products, and nothing conveys confidence in the quality of a product like a warranty.

Maintenance Plan? Some used server racks are eligible for OEM and third party maintenance.

Return on Investment? Buying previously owned, or refurbished IT hardware can be a great way to leverage your IT budget. Getting nearly the same quality as new but spending only a fraction of the cost is a way to dramatically lower the total cost of ownership.

Availability? Our inventory of used server racks is constantly changing, give us a call at 888-210-7636 or Contact one of our IT Hardware Specialists today to discuss your requirements or ask further questions. If you have surplus-new, or used servers to sell, please use our Sell Hardware form and let us know what you are looking to sell.

"World Data delivers vital IT products as secondary market’s ability to supply stands-out in crises"

World Data Products' CEO Neil Vill discusses WDPI's strong market position during supply chain interruptions with Doug Green on the Telecom Reseller podcast. Want to know more about how World Data Products delivers networking, servers, and repair services during Corona Virus? Click here to listen.

You are on the team that is responsible for data center performance and reliability, that means putting out server or networking fires. Is your strategy dependent on maintenance programs, hot spares onsite on the shelf, or some combination of both?

Server hardware failure. It does happen at some point. Server components including power supplies and hard drives do fail on occasion.

Fire Extinguishing Tip: Be prepared. Make sure you have onsite spares for key server components. If you don't keep spares on hand, World Data Products offers Third Party Maintenance programs to provide replacements when you need them most.

The key to putting out most IT hardware fires is to develop quality relationships before the emergency so when your next hardware fire pops up, you'll be ready.

Used Computer Tape?

Not using the tape library anymore? Or, have obsolete tapes from an older magnetic tape technology? You're not alone. As data centers move to newer cartridge formats or move away from tape storage entirely, Asset Recovery Managers responsible for IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) must choose from options including data eradication, recycling, or destruction. Every organization has policies to keep its data safe, and World Data Products has the tape library services to accommodate those data security requirements.

What are the best options in 2020 for data eradication or data destruction?

Used Tape Buyback Sell your tape library to World Data Products. Our world-class tape facility uses a total data eradication process, erasing the tapes end to end. We also test to verify that every tape will be free of permanent and gross errors. This recycled media becomes certified tape that has a higher reliability than new tape because every tape is tested 100% end to end.

Data Erasure or Destruction World Data Products provides on-site and off-site data destruction services. We have a long track record of working with major financial and government institutions. We can coordinate secure transportation and will provide a detailed plan and a certificate of destruction.
