IO South buys used and surplus enterprise IT hardware directly from businesses across the United States: servers, storage, networking and data center GPUs. Hardware buyback, trade-in credit, and full decommission support, handled by one team from the first list to the final pickup.
Does your company have a surplus of off-lease servers, storage, or networking equipment you need to get rid of to make room for new technology? Are you closing a site, consolidating racks, or finishing a refresh and wishing you could recover some of the investment you made in your hardware?
IO South appraises and repurchases your used hardware, recycling it and returning it to the marketplace while you walk away with cash in your pocket. Your old hardware has value to us.
The best place to sell used IT hardware is a buyer that resells it, not a broker that shops your list around. IO South is the buyer. We purchase the equipment outright, put it through our own evaluation and testing, and sell it on through our own channels. That is why we can give a straight answer on a list of servers, switches, storage or GPUs: we know what each unit is moving for right now because we are moving it.
Server buyback, network equipment buyback and data center GPU buyback are the same conversation here. One list, one offer, one pickup, whether it is a single PowerEdge, a rack of Cisco Nexus and Catalyst switches, or a decommissioned cluster of H100 servers.
1. Send the list. Make, model, configuration and quantity. A spreadsheet, a photo of the asset tags, or an export from your asset system all work. The more specific the configuration, the sharper the offer.
2. We evaluate and make an offer. We price against what the equipment is actually moving for in the secondary market right now, not a blanket depreciation table. If a unit is worth more parted out than whole, we tell you.
3. We handle the logistics. We send a rep to palletize and wrap your used IT assets, arrange freight pickup, and pay for shipping. Gather your old hardware, unplug it, set it at the door, and we do the rest.
4. You get paid, or you take credit. We turn unwanted hardware into cash, or you can trade in your excess for credit toward a future project.
Data center GPUs and accelerators. We buy used NVIDIA data center GPUs at fair-market value, individually or by the cluster:
Servers. Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant and Apollo, Supermicro, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Cisco UCS, rack and blade, current and prior generation. Sell Dell PowerEdge servers, including the R760 and R750, or sell HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 servers.
Networking. Switches, routers, firewalls, access points, transceivers and optics from Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HPE Aruba and Ruckus. Sell used Cisco networking equipment. Sell Cisco Nexus 9000 switches. Sell used Ruckus equipment.
Storage, memory and components. Arrays and shelves, controllers, enterprise drives, server memory, processors and power supplies. Surplus and new-in-box inventory included.
Used server buyers are easy to find and hard to compare. IO South buys rack, blade, tower and GPU servers directly: Dell PowerEdge R and XE series, HPE ProLiant DL and ML, Apollo and Synergy, Supermicro SuperServer and GPU systems, Lenovo ThinkSystem, and Cisco UCS B and C series. Current generation and prior generation both sell. Older generations are worth a line on the list too, since memory, processors, drives and power supplies carry value even when the chassis does not.
Selling used NVIDIA servers or a GPU cluster? Eight-GPU HGX and DGX systems, PCIe GPU servers and the networking that connected them are bought as whole systems or broken down by card, whichever pays you more. See sell used NVIDIA GPUs and equipment and sell NVIDIA DGX systems.
HPE is one of the largest families on our shelves and one of the ones we buy most. ProLiant DL and ML servers, Apollo, Aruba switches and access points, and HPE storage all belong on the list. Send the model, generation, processor and memory configuration, and the drive count, and we will come back with an evaluation. A ProLiant lot can ship with the Dell, Cisco and GPU equipment from the same room; it does not need to be sold separately.
Companies that buy decommissioned network equipment mostly want the newest switches and nothing else. IO South resells networking every day, so we buy the whole stack: Cisco Catalyst, Nexus, Meraki and ISR or ASR routers, Ruckus ICX switches and access points, Juniper, Arista, HPE Aruba, Fortinet firewalls, and the transceivers, optics and line cards that go with them. Switches with licensing or subscriptions still have hardware value; tell us what is attached and we will price accordingly.
Storage arrays and shelves from Dell EMC, HPE and the other enterprise storage vendors are bought populated or empty. If the drives have to stay with you for data policy reasons, say so with the list and we will price the shelves and controllers without them.
Closing a facility, consolidating after a merger, or clearing a lease? We buy full rack rows and entire data center floors, and we work with your schedule and your building access rules. A decommission is a project, not a pickup: we plan the sequence, label and palletize on site, arrange freight, and keep a record of what left the building.
If some of the equipment is staying in service, we can also supply the replacement. Talk to us about a buyback and a refresh in the same conversation.
Selling old hardware after a data center migration or a cloud move is the most common reason a list reaches us. The equipment is usually working, often a generation or two old, and still sitting in racks because nobody owns the job of getting rid of it. Send the asset export as it is. We sort what has resale value from what should be recycled and give you one number for the lot.
We do not publish prices, because the secondary market moves weekly and the configuration decides most of the value. What we can tell you is how an offer is built. Generation matters most: a current-generation server with a full processor and memory configuration is worth a multiple of the same chassis two generations back. Data center GPUs hold value longer than almost anything else in the rack, and GPU servers are usually worth more intact than parted. Networking is valued by family and model, then by optics and licensing. Condition and completeness come last: a working unit with its rails, power supplies and bezels gets the top of the range for its model.
Every offer tells you which items drove the number and which were valued as parts, before anything ships. If a unit is worth more parted out than whole, we say so.
A server trade-in works the same way as a sale, except the value goes toward your next order instead of a check. IO South stocks Dell, HPE, Cisco, Supermicro and Ruckus equipment, so the gear coming out can fund the gear going in, handled by the same team in the same conversation. Tell us what you are replacing and what you are replacing it with and we will quote both sides together.
MSP hardware buyback is a recurring job, not a one-time cleanout. If you manage equipment for several clients, send one list per client site and we will return one evaluation per list, so each account can be settled on its own. Off-lease returns and end-of-contract equipment from leasing and finance companies are handled the same way, in volume, with freight arranged from wherever the equipment sits.
Drives are wiped or destroyed before anything is resold, and we can return the drives to you instead if your policy requires it. Tell us your data handling requirement with the list and we will confirm exactly how it will be handled before the equipment moves.
Send your list and we will come back with an evaluation. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com, or use the contact form.

IT hardware buyback is selling your used, surplus or decommissioned equipment to a company that purchases it outright rather than brokering it. IO South evaluates the equipment against current secondary-market values, makes an offer, arranges and pays for freight, and pays you in cash or in credit toward future purchases.
Send the asset list or the rack elevations and tell us the building access rules and the date the space has to be clear. IO South plans the sequence, labels and palletizes on site, arranges freight, and keeps a record of what left the building. We buy full rack rows and entire floors, and we can supply replacement equipment for anything staying in service.
Yes. Drives are wiped or destroyed before any equipment is resold, and we can return the drives to you instead if your policy requires it. Tell us your data handling requirement when you send the list and we will confirm how it will be handled before the equipment moves.
Yes. IO South sends a rep to palletize and wrap the assets, arranges the freight pickup and pays for shipping. You gather the hardware, unplug it and set it at the door.
Yes. You can take cash for your surplus, or apply its value as credit toward a future project. Many customers run the buyback and the refresh as one conversation so the old gear funds part of the new.
Working, partially working and end-of-life equipment are all worth sending us a list for. Value varies by model and configuration, and some units are worth more parted out than whole. We will tell you which is which rather than quietly discounting the lot.
Resellers like IO South buy used servers outright. We purchase Dell PowerEdge, HPE ProLiant, Supermicro, Lenovo ThinkSystem and Cisco UCS servers, rack, blade, tower and GPU systems, from a single unit to full rack rows, and resell them through our own channels. Send the model, generation and configuration for an evaluation.
Yes. IO South buys HPE ProLiant DL and ML servers, Apollo, Aruba switches and access points, and HPE storage. Send the model, generation, processor and memory configuration and the drive count, and HPE can ship in the same lot as your Dell, Cisco and GPU equipment.
It depends on generation, configuration and condition, and the secondary market moves weekly, so IO South does not publish prices. A current-generation server with a full processor and memory configuration is worth a multiple of the same chassis two generations back, GPU servers are usually worth more intact than parted, and a complete working unit with rails and power supplies gets the top of the range for its model. Every offer tells you which items drove the number before anything ships.
Yes. Send one list per client site and IO South returns one evaluation per list, so each account can be settled on its own. Off-lease returns and end-of-contract equipment from leasing and finance companies are handled the same way, in volume, with freight arranged from wherever the equipment sits.
