Moving to the Cloud? What to do with Your DC Hardware?

Currently many businesses are deciding to move their data to the cloud. For some businesses, the cloud can offer their workers more mobility, allowing them to access data remotely and collaborate with other employees even when working from home. As see lately in the current covid-19 pandemic.

However, it mean you are left with unwanted networking hardware and servers, which are no longer of use. In fact, one of the reasons that many businesses are hesitant to move to the cloud is because of the large investment they have already made in their own in-house systems – they find it hard to justify walking away from all that money. Indeed, hardware can be expensive to buy and maintain and this cost shouldn’t go to waste if you decide that switching to a cloud service provider is right for your business.

There is a way to see a return on your investment, and help pay for your migration to the cloud. Two, three and four year old technology can still hold value, and, sold through the right hardware procurement firm, it could be an unrealised cash resource.

By selling the planned decommissioned hardware when switching to the cloud, you may be able to help your business fund its online data migration.
