Cashback Client: Switch Concepts
Challenge:
Switch Concepts wanted to move their hosting services over to a cloud solution which meant there was an opportunity to release some 300 servers that were in operation in a Slough Data Centre. They approached 3 different companies to bid on the equipment and happily, they chose Flux IT to work with. We provide a market-leading valuation and offered a very quick turnaround on testing and payment.
Solution:
Flux-IT worked with Switch Concepts over a 9-month period, buying all the servers as they came available. We collected up to 50 servers at a time and were able to fully test these within 5 days to meet the client's requirements.
Result:
We provided a seamless and efficient process for the client to regain capital back on the decommissioned server hardware. Our team handled the equipment's transportation, packing, and logistics, ensuring the equipment was transported safely and securely. By facilitating the buyback of the servers, we providedSwitch Concepts with an agreed price for the kit while also helping them to dispose of it both ethically and responsibly. We provided full reports to Switch Concepts and we were able to transfer the warranties on the servers to the new owners, this also means there was very little adjustment required for the few failed parts. All the servers were re-purposed, reused and put into production. Extending the lifetime use of the servers and reducing the environmental impact of the destruction.
Testimonial:
"Flux IT was professional and reliable from the start of the project, they worked with us to meet deadlines and were always upfront with any issues which they also helped us overcome. Would definitely recommend them to other companies that are looking to release equity in their surplus server equipment".
'Switch is a market-leading technology platform for Publishers, with a reach of over 80% of the UK population.'
