Enterprise IT Equipment We Purchase
EPOKA focuses on professional data center and enterprise IT infrastructure - both current-generation and end-of-life hardware.
End-of-support does not mean end-of-value. Secondary market demand from TPM providers and global data center operators often sustains hardware value well beyond OEM support windows.
Whether you are retiring 20 servers from an office refresh or decommissioning a full data center floor, we can assess and purchase the assets.
Items with no resale value are routed to certified recycling - at no additional cost to you.
| Equipment Type | Key Vendors | EOL Accepted |
|---|---|---|
| Servers | Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, IBM, SuperMicro, NVIDIA GPU | Yes |
| Storage Systems | NetApp, Dell EMC, HPE, IBM, HDS / Hitachi | Yes |
| Networking | Cisco, Brocade, Juniper, Aruba | Yes |
| End-User Computing | Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Apple | Yes |
| DC Infrastructure | APC, Eaton, Vertiv, Schneider | Project basis |
| Legacy / Specialist | Multi-vendor, multi-era | Yes |

Why Epoka
Six Reasons Enterprise Clients Choose EPOKA for Buyback
With +35 years of daily trading in the global secondary IT market, we offer what most ITAD vendors cannot: offers built on real market conditions, not depreciation schedules.
The core difference: Epoka operates as both an ITAD provider and a global hardware reseller. When we value your assets, we use the same live market data our trading teams transact with daily - not a generic model. You benefit from that position directly.
Live Market Asset Valuation
Offers built from active resale data - not depreciation tables. You receive what the market actually pays today.
Global Buyer Network
Access to buyers across Europe, APAC, and the Americas maximises competition and drives higher return per asset.
Single-Vendor Accountability
Buyback, data erasure, logistics, and recycling under one contract. No third-party handoffs at any stage.
Audit-Ready Documentation
Chain-of-custody records, Certificates of Sanitisation, and ESG reports are standard - not extras to request separately.
ISO 27001 Data Security
Certified information security management embedded at every stage - not a service add-on you pay extra for.
Detailed Asset Recovery Estimate
Forecast returns prior to collection. You receive a full valuation and see all numbers before committing. Approve when you are ready - zero pressure.

What to Include in Your Valuation Request
The more detail you provide, the more accurate the offer.
Here is what matters - and why a precise asset list gets you a better number faster.
2
Quantity and configuration
Volume affects pricing. Configuration details (CPU count, RAM, storage type)
determine which buyer segments are active for your specific hardware.
3
Condition and location
Working condition affects resale routing. Location feeds into logistics cost and
compliance requirements, which both affect the net offer to you.
4
Data security requirements
If you need certified erasure with documentation,
tell us upfront so we include the right NIST 800-88 process in scope from day one.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our Buyback service.
What type of IT hardware does EPOKA buy? ▾
EPOKA buys enterprise IT hardware in bulk: rack and blade servers (Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, IBM, SuperMicro, NVIDIA GPU platforms), storage systems (SAN, NAS, DAS, tape libraries from NetApp, Dell EMC, HDS), and networking equipment (Cisco, Brocade, Juniper). We focus on professional data center equipment and accept both current-generation and end-of-life hardware across all major vendors.
How is the buyback price determined? ▾
Pricing is based on hardware model, configuration, quantity, technical condition, and live secondary market demand. Epoka’s offers are built from the same active global resale data our trading teams use daily — not generic depreciation tables. You receive a clear, itemised quotation with no hidden deductions for logistics, data erasure, or administration.
Do you buy end-of-life or end-of-support hardware? ▾
Yes. Hardware that has exited OEM support windows often retains significant secondary market value - particularly among third-party maintenance providers who need spare parts and replacement units for active maintenance contracts on the same platform generations. Our +35 years of secondary market activity gives us direct relationships with those buyers.
Is there a minimum quantity required? ▾
There is no strict minimum, but our buyback service is designed for enterprise volumes - typically 20 or more servers or equivalent data center equipment. Smaller quantities can be assessed on request. For large-scale decommissions involving hundreds of units or full data center floors, we provide dedicated project management from day one.
Does EPOKA handle data destruction as part of buyback? ▾
Yes. Certified data sanitization to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 2 is available as standard. Options include software-based erasure using WipeOS or Blancco, degaussing, and physical shredding for devices that cannot be wiped. A Certificate of Data Sanitisation or Destruction with serial-number-level detail is issued for every processed device - serving as your regulatory and audit evidence of irreversible data elimination.
Can buyback be combined with full ITAD service? ▾
Yes - this is the most common configuration for enterprise clients. The buyback evaluation is the natural starting point for a complete ITAD engagement. Once you approve the offer, you choose: a straightforward buyback only, or a full-service ITAD project including secure collection and logistics, certified data sanitization, remarketing, responsible recycling, and full compliance documentation under a single contract.
How quickly will I receive a buyback offer? ▾
For standard asset lists, typically within 2–3 business days of receiving your hardware details. Complex projects involving large volumes, specialist hardware, or multi-country logistics may require a brief on-site review before a final offer is confirmed. We will always tell you the expected timeline before it starts.
What happens to hardware with no resale value? ▾
Non-resaleable assets are processed through certified e-waste recycling partners in compliance with EU WEEE Directive requirements. Usable components are harvested first to maximise recovery before the remainder enters the certified recycling stream. Nothing goes to landfill. You receive a recycling manifest and ESG sustainability report confirming responsible disposal for every non-remarketed item
