With rigorously tested, high‑quality refurbished hardware paired with modern technologies, GreenIT delivers server solutions tailored to power critical workloads while keeping total cost predictable and efficient.
From dev/test to SMB infrastructure, refurbished enterprise servers deliver reliable performance at 50-80% cost savings
Build development, testing, and engineering laboratory environments with cost-effective refurbished Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, or Cisco UCS servers. Perfect for staging environments, QA testing, CI/CD pipelines, or proof-of-concept projects where budget optimization matters without compromising on quality or performance.
Deploy VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, or Proxmox clusters for small to medium businesses. Refurbished servers with dual CPUs and 256GB-1TB RAM provide enterprise-grade virtualization at fraction of new equipment costs. Perfect for consolidating workloads, building private clouds, or modernizing legacy infrastructure economically.
Build disaster recovery sites and run non-critical business systems with affordable refurbished servers. Ideal for failover environments, backup data centers, secondary applications, or workloads where tier-1 performance isn't required. Maintain business continuity without premium pricing on standby infrastructure.
Support educational institutions, non-profit organizations, and environmental sustainability projects with budget-friendly refurbished servers. Perfect for schools, universities, research labs, or green IT initiatives. Get enterprise-grade compute power for learning, research, or community projects at education-friendly prices.
Other suitable scenarios: Web hosting environments, lightweight database workloads, edge computing deployments, file/print servers, email servers, application servers for non-tier-1 apps, render farms, media encoding, colocation hosting, managed hosting providers, software development environments, and any workload where refurbished equipment delivers 5-10 years of reliable service at 50-80% cost savings.

💡 Pro Tip: All enterprise server brands offer similar reliability and performance when properly refurbished. Your choice should prioritize compatibility with existing infrastructure, management tools you already use, and staff expertise. Refurbished servers typically have 5-10 years of remaining service life, making them ideal for non-tier-1 applications or budget-conscious deployments.
Key considerations: 1) CPU generation and core count - newer processors (Intel Xeon E5 v3/v4, Scalable, AMD EPYC) support more VMs, 2) Maximum RAM capacity - virtualization needs high memory (256GB-1TB+), 3) RAID controller with battery backup for storage protection, 4) Dual power supplies for redundancy, 5) Compatibility with your hypervisor (VMware HCL, Microsoft certification). We can help verify your exact requirements and recommend compatible models.
Absolutely! Enterprise servers are built for 7-10+ year lifecycles with redundant components. Properly refurbished 3-5 year old servers have 5-7 years of reliable service remaining. Our refurbishment process includes: stress testing, firmware updates, component replacement (if needed), burn-in testing, and full warranty. Major brands like Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant have proven reliability. Many enterprises successfully run production workloads on refurbished hardware with proper maintenance.
Yes! Most refurbished servers support upgrades. Important points: 1) Check maximum RAM capacity and DIMM slots available, 2) Verify RAM type compatibility (DDR3, DDR4, ECC), 3) Confirm storage bay availability (2.5\" vs 3.5\", SAS vs SATA), 4) RAID controller compatibility with drive types, 5) PCIe slots for expansion cards. We can configure servers to your specifications before shipping or provide upgrade guidance. Refurbished servers offer same upgrade paths as new equipment.
Rack servers (1U-4U) mount in standard 19\" racks, ideal for data centers needing space efficiency. Tower servers stand alone like desktop PCs, perfect for small offices with 1-5 servers. Blade servers offer highest density, multiple server blades in shared chassis with common power/networking, best for large-scale virtualization. Choose based on: physical space, cooling requirements, quantity needed, budget. Rack servers offer best balance for most deployments.
Yes! We offer professional services including: 1) RAID configuration to your specifications, 2) BIOS/firmware updates and optimization, 3) OS installation (Windows Server, Linux distributions, VMware ESXi), 4) Basic network configuration, 5) Remote management (iDRAC, iLO, IPMI) setup, 6) Rack mounting and cable management. Whether you need turnkey deployment or just hardware, we can accommodate. Our engineers have experience across all major server platforms.
All our refurbished servers include warranty (typically 90 days to 1 year depending on model/age). Extended warranty options available. For ongoing support, we offer third-party maintenance (TPM) contracts at 40-70% less than OEM support, covering: 24/7 technical support, hardware replacement, spare parts, firmware access, and remote troubleshooting. TPM is ideal for EOL equipment or budget-conscious deployments. Many enterprises choose TPM after OEM warranty expires.
