REER JAPAN | Server & Network Buyback

Server & Network Equipment BuybackWe buy servers and network equipment.
Rack removal included.

We assess and buy retired servers, storage, and network equipment such as switches and routers, from a single unit. In the Kanto region we also remove equipment from racks, carry it out and work at data centers, and every drive is erased and logged individually.

  • From 1 unit
  • Rack removal and carry-out
  • Data center work (Kanto)

How buyback works

Whole-lot assessment

We buy them

We assess every unit, old and broken ones included, and make an offer. Once you accept the final offer, we pay by bank transfer. We cover the collection and shipping costs.

If nothing has resale value

Manufacturer take-back

If none of the units has resale value, we cannot take them. We will point you to the PC manufacturers’ take-back services for businesses.

※ Courier shipments are accepted freight collect (we pay the carrier on delivery) only after a quote and our instructions. For large equipment or many units in the Kanto region, we will arrange on-site pickup instead. Freight-collect parcels sent without our instructions cannot be accepted.

What we handle for servers and network equipment

Rack removal and carry-out

In the Kanto region, we remove servers and network equipment from racks and carry them out ourselves.

Work at data centers

We also come to data centers in the Kanto region. Please talk to us in advance about access procedures and permitted working hours.

Every drive erased and logged

Drives in servers, NAS and SAN are erased one by one, RAID arrays included, and each is logged.

Network settings initialized

We initialize the settings left on switches, routers and firewalls, such as IP addresses and passwords, and keep a record.

What we buy

  • Rack and tower servers
  • Storage (NAS and SAN)
  • Switches and routers
  • Firewalls and UTM appliances
  • Wireless LAN access points
  • Other IT equipment (ask us)

From a single unit. Whatever the age, and with or without a maintenance contract, we assess it first.

How It Works

  1. STEP 01

    Free quote

    Tell us the models, quantity and where the equipment is installed (rack, data center, etc.). We reply with an estimated offer and how we will remove and collect it.

  2. STEP 02

    Removal & collection

    In Kanto we come to your location, remove the equipment from the racks and carry it out. Elsewhere, ship it by courier as we instruct.

  3. STEP 03

    Inspection & final offer

    We inspect every unit on arrival and confirm the final offer.

  4. STEP 04

    Data erasure & payment

    Once you approve the asset list, we erase every drive and initialize network settings, then pay by bank transfer once you accept the final offer.

From collection to inspection and data erasure, you can check progress online at any time.

Free data erasure, never before your approval

We erase the drives in every unit we buy, free of charge. Erasure starts only after you approve the asset list, and every drive is logged. A Certificate of Data Erasure (PDF) is available for a fee, quoted in advance.
