When you are looking for new networking equipment for your business, concern for the environment isn't always at the top of the punch list. What probably is at the top are factors such as:
- Quality of the hardware
- Price
- Ease of getting all the equipment you need
- Ability for vendor to fill your order in a timely manner
- Customer service
But why not become eco friendly while you are looking into new telecom hardware for your company? It's actually quite easy, and with a reputable distributor you can satisfy most other items on your punch lit.
When it comes to hardware there's nothing better for the environment than not having to have any more equipment built than what is all ready left the manufacturers' plants. That's why used and refurbished equipment is a great idea. It's a recycling or recirculation program for networking equipment. And it satisfies all you are looking for in networking equipment:
- Quality: A reputable distributor will have each piece of equipment that goes out the door go through a quality assurance process, to make sure it is reliable and will perform like new. Many will also offer a warranty.
- Price: The price will typically be less than if you were to buy new.
- Ease: Since the distributor doesn’t need room for manufacturing, and isn't necessarily loyal to one brand, it can warehouse many more items from many more manufacturers.
- Filling orders: With broader inventories you can usually find what you need from one supplier.
- Customer service: There’s no reason why it would be any different than a manufacturer, except that they have a reason to keep you satisfied. They would love you to come back because 1) they would like you to be a customer again and 2) they may want you to come back to them with your equipment so they can resell it again or provide other asset management services.
So whether you are upgrading your current network or building one for a new business, take a minute to think of the environment. Eco friendly hardware is easy to find, and just as reliable as brand new hardware.
