Refurbished HPE ProLiant Servers Are a Game Changer in 2025

Refurbished HPE ProLiant servers offer a smarter way to avoid overspending. Refurbished hardware can offer a high-performance alternative to new, while also being more sustainable and costing significantly less.

Why do HPE ProLiant Servers Stand Out?  

HPE have been in the business of servers for over three decades, and their experience shows in the hardware they produce. Countless data centres and businesses across the planet rely on HPE servers for their unmatched security, performance and reliability. Choosing a refurbished server does not take away any of these benefits. All refurbished servers go through rigorous testing before being put back on the market and often come with lengthy warranties for peace of mind.

How Much Can You Save With Refurbished Hardware?

One of the major benefits of refurbished hardware is the associated cost savings. Enterprise hardware can come with a high price tag, so a refurbished option costing significantly less has obvious appeal to many businesses. In the past, we have conducted studies finding cost savings to be as much as 70% against new, but here is a real-world example of what a refurbished HPE ProLiant server could cost:

A brand new HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 Plus NVMe server chassis can cost up to £2,500. Alternatively, as of writing this article, you can pick up a refurbished alternative for just £1,302.40. A 52% saving without compromise.

Are Refurbished HPE ProLiant Servers Reliable? 

When you choose refurbished, you can rest assured that the equipment undergoes an incredibly strict process, ensuring that what you receive remains indistinguishable from new in terms of performance. Techbuyer requires each component to pass a 25-point certification process before it can return to the market.  

And if something were to go wrong with your hardware, you're covered by a three-year warranty with Techbuyer – often the same warranty as if you were to buy new. What’s more, we can add third party maintenance to your build, including benefits such as 4-hour parts to site, as well as HPE care packs.  

What Are the Sustainability Benefits of Refurbished Hardware?

As you may already know, e-waste is the fastest growing solid waste stream in the world. Steps need to be taken to mitigate this growing issue, and choosing refurbished hardware is an excellent step forward.

Choosing refurbished equipment has several knock-on effects. The first and most direct effect is that it stops that specific piece of hardware from being sent to landfill. Another positive impact of refurbished hardware comes with the reduced demand for mining finite materials. The demand for electronic devices continues to grow, and the materials used to create it are not infinite. The process of mining a lot of these materials is terrible for the environment and the manufacturing process is not much better. For example, 80% of a laptops carbon footprint comes from the manufacturing process. By choosing refurbished equipment the demand for new decreases, which then keeps materials already mined in use and reduces the overall carbon produced for the IT sector as a whole.
