Startups and established businesses alike need scalable, powerful and manageable network infrastructure to be competitive. Used network hardware from brands like Arista, Juniper, and Cisco provide an excellent opportunity to deploy Layer 2 and Layer 3 Ethernet switching and routing hardware for access, edge, and complete spine/leaf architectures, at a fraction of the cost of new equipment.
Buying used network hardware is ideal for deploying current-generation systems on a budget or maintaining prior-gen or even legacy installations well beyond their original OEM lifecycle. Whether you're scaling a data center, refreshing enterprise hardware, or building out a new spine/leaf architecture, used equipment allows for budget flexibility without compromising performance and reliability
Benefits of Used Network Hardware
Cost-Effective: Purchasing used equipment significantly lowers upfront costs, helping to extend your budget for both new deployments and existing network expansions.
Environmental Sustainability: Buying used supports e-waste reduction and minimizes the environmental footprint of producing new hardware, contributing to a sustainable IT strategy.
Availability: Avoid supply chain delays and gain quicker access to critical equipment, especially in today’s backordered market.
Prolong Equipment Lifecycle: Leverage used hardware to extend the life of legacy infrastructure in critical sectors, especially where OEM support might have ended.
Use Cases for Pre-Owned Network Equipment
Data Center Expansion: Scale your data center infrastructure without breaking your budget.
Enterprise Networking: Maintain robust enterprise networks with proven hardware
Proof-of-Concept and internal Labs: Ideal for scale testing and lab environments to simulate and test configurations without investing in new equipment.
Whether you're building your network with current-generation hardware on a budget or maintaining your legacy networking infrastructure, the secondary market for used network hardware is a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solution.
