®Buying options
Choose the condition that fits the job.
Both new and refurbished equipment can have a place in a business network. The right choice depends on the model, application, budget and requirements of your IT team.
Understand all four condition grades.
We offer new, new open box (NOB), refurbished and used equipment. Review the condition and included components on your quote.
Condition grades & testingCompare the complete requirement.
| Consideration | New equipment | Refurbished equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Condition | Confirm whether the item is factory-sealed, open-box or another stated condition. | Confirm inspection, testing, cosmetic condition and included components. |
| Project fit | Useful when a specification or purchasing policy calls for new hardware. | Worth considering for replacements, spares and projects where refurbished equipment meets the requirement. |
| Included items | Check power supplies, accessories, rack hardware and any required licenses. | Check the same items; do not assume a used chassis includes every component. |
| Warranty & software | Review the quoted warranty and confirm software or subscription eligibility. | Review the quoted warranty and confirm software or subscription eligibility. |
Our approach
Be clear about what you are buying.
Refurbishment is more than a condition label. Ask how the equipment has been inspected and tested, what is included, and whether there are cosmetic or configuration details you should know.
Our team can discuss the preparation applicable to the equipment you are considering. Confirm any additional testing or staging requirements with us before ordering.
Testing & refurbishmentAsk for the options on your equipment list.
Tell us if new or refurbished condition is required, or if you would like to consider both.
