Purchasing pre-owned and refurbished IT equipment
is a great way to get the best value for your IT dollars provided it is done properly and with a trusted advisor.
Whether you need to upgrade
your network or add another office, implement a Disaster Recover or reduce the cost of
your network hardware maintenance most of the equipment is readily available on the
secondary market at very significant cost savings. While a few years ago using
pre-owned equipment was only a sporadic practice, things have changed quite dramatically
since. The secondary market for refurbished IT equipment is a well established and rapidly
growing mainstream industry now and more companies than ever are making the most of their
IT budgets by incorporating refurbished computer and networking products and related
services in their IT infrastructure.
You can rely on Technorex to bring additional value by being your
trusted advisor and consultant on what to watch for when dealing with RFB equipment
BEFORE you make a commitment to the secondary market. There are many benefits associated with

marketplace, advice by unscrupulous used equipment brokers to use RFB equipment in mission critical network points
and others.

from the secondary market. This is a new approach to using RFB equipment that allows you to take advantage

Please, read on further to discover more of the benefits associated with RFB equipment
- Cost - refurbished equipment is generally available at 45-90 % off list price which allows you to do much more with less therefore stretching your IT budget significantly
- Immediate availability - generally pre-owned equipment has very short delivery timeframe compared to new products which often take weeks to be delivered
- Reliability and performance - when properly tested and certified RFB equipment offers the same reliability and performance compared to identical new models. And since it costs less - the end-user can afford to buy a more powerful model for less. Furthermore, very often you'll find equipment that is still unused and in the original box sold as New Open Box
- Extended Warranty - RFB equipment is often offered with warranties that match or exceed the original manufacturer ones. Technorex backs the products it sells with industry leading 90-day (for resellers), 1-year (for end-users) and the unmatched LIFETIME WARRANTY for our customers with service contracts. Now, that's what we call WARRANTY !
- Reduced downtime- when a spare on site is used and it is configured identically to the equipment in production, not only it's very cost effective but it reduces the downtime to minutes instead of hours or days. Even the best vendor offered maintenance contracts take at least a few hours for the replacement hardware to arrive on site, not to mention the time needed to configure it and put it in operation
- More Value - with pre-owned equipment the depreciation is already reflected in the price while new systems will generally lose a percentage of their value after the initial purchase
- More Options- using RFB hardware companies can significantly extend the useful life of the product and avoid being forced into constant upgrades when it simply does not make sense and is not needed
- Environmentally friendly - re-using equipment greatly reduces the amount of harmful waste that goes to the landfills each year. It is an added but significant benefit that helps preserve our Earth
