Used Cisco >Â Refurbished Cisco Equipment vs New
Investing in refurbished Cisco systems and parts can be one of the most cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable solutions for any business that needs to upgrade its technology infrastructure.

At Alta Technologies, we believe that quality has no expiration date. That’s why we’re dedicated to taking back premium pre-owned Cisco equipment from clients and testing it to our high standards. As a result, thousands of companies have trusted us with all types of server, networking, and storage hardware needs since 1995—without having to worry about quality issues or other related concerns that some might associate with second-hand things.Â
Buying refurbished Cisco systems instead of brand-new ones will give any organization much greater financial flexibility among other benefits. Not only do they save a bundle off of new prices, but also have the immediate availability and resilience of a used supply chain, while still getting what they need: reliability and performance.Â
You have your applications and many models of Cisco, or even other brands, can do the job. A robust testing and qualification process makes sure you’ve got a choice - both in model and manufacturer options. You can choose Cisco, Juniper, or Arista - current or older models, all at a price point that works for you within a feature set!
Supply chain constraints are a fact of life that many IT buyers experienced recently. When an OEM is back-ordered for months, a used vendor likely has 2nd or 3rd gen systems (or even current-gen) sitting on the shelf so that you can start your project tomorrow!
Aside from tremendous savings on both costs and time, another important selling point here is the fact that lengthening the lifespan of your existing hardware keeps large volumes of e-waste out of landfills.Â
Extended IT asset use delays the manufacture of a new system, and the massive amount of electric and water resources exhausted in that process. Many companies are now running systems up to seven years and beyond - supported by parts and equipment from vendors like Alta.
Therefore you see: whether you are an established IT user who wants an alternative solution or an environmentalist responsible for preserving our planet — open-market refurbished Cisco systems and parts offer tremendous advantages across multiple business parameters.Â
If your organization is looking for savings, immediate availability, choice, and/or sustainability gains, rather than new… consider a like-new option from a top-used Cisco company like Alta!
