Why RackRenew?

Every server RackRenew delivers was originally engineered to run at the heart of the world’s largest cloud platforms. We combine that proven hyperscale DNA with deep operational expertise. This gives enterprises, service providers, and research institutions compute infrastructure that performs at a fraction of the cost and carbon footprint of buying new.

Lower cost without compromise

Reduce infrastructure costs by up to 70% vs. new hardware.1 Sourced directly from hyperscale decommissions by Sims Lifecycle Services, no middlemen, no markup.

Designed for demanding workloads

Dual-socket Xeon architectures, high-bandwidth memory, and integrated 100G networking, designed by hyperscale engineering teams for the most demanding environments on the planet.

Enterprise grade and fully validated

Full hardware diagnostics, component-level testing, firmware updates, and thermal validation. Every server meets original OEM specifications, backed by ISO 9001 certifications.

Zero embodied carbon on remanufactured components

A new server generates 1,000–2,000 kg CO₂ before it processes a single workload. A remanufactured RackRenew server: 0 kg on every remanufactured component3; new parts fitted for the configuration carry their original carbon. The manufacturing emissions of the original build belong to the first owner, who incurred them at first purchase. New parts added for a specific configuration, for example BMC chips or new drives, carry their original manufacturing carbon.

Built-in sustainability

Sustainability & ESG impact

Sustainability is not an add-on, it is fundamental to the RackRenew model. Every server we deliver extends the lifecycle of hardware that would otherwise be recycled or discarded.

ESG

The manufacturing of a single server generates an estimated 1,000–2,000 kg of CO₂ equivalent, before it processes a single workload. By deploying remanufactured OCP hardware, your organization keeps enterprise-grade performance. Every remanufactured component in a configuration carries zero embodied carbon3; new parts fitted for that configuration carry their original carbon.

RackRenew’s remanufacturing process, a brand of Sims Lifecycle Services’ global Circular Centers, ensures every component is evaluated, tested, and redeployed to its highest possible use. Components that cannot be reused are responsibly recycled through SLS’s certified and ISO 14001 processes.

For organizations with formal ESG reporting requirements, RackRenew can provide carbon avoidance metrics and lifecycle documentation to support your sustainability disclosures and procurement policies.

Lead time & availability

RackRenew’s track record shows that remanufactured infrastructure reaches customers considerably faster than comparable new equipment, since components are sourced from existing supply rather than manufactured to order.2 That’s the project window you actually need.

Rapid Deployment

RackRenew’s track record shows that remanufactured infrastructure reaches customers considerably faster than comparable new equipment, since components are sourced from existing supply rather than manufactured to order.2 Custom builds and large-volume orders follow a project timeline agreed during scoping. Remanufacturing runs in region: Nashville area (La Vergne, TN) for the Americas and Eindhoven area (Son en Breugel, NB) for EMEA, with Singapore serving APAC.

Whether You’re Expanding or Building from Scratch: RackRenew Delivers

Whether you’re expanding an existing environment or building from scratch, RackRenew delivers the performance, reliability, and sustainability your business demands, at a price point that makes new projects viable.

1  Based on RackRenew like-for-like reference comparisons of remanufactured switch, compute node, and storage node configurations against the market price of equivalent new equipment, held on file by RackRenew. Where a comparison involves a model no longer sold new, RackRenew states that in the comparison.

2  Actual lead times depend on final customer configuration, component availability and destination. RackRenew does not guarantee delivery windows on this website.

3  RackRenew assigns the embodied carbon of a component to its first owner, who incurred the manufacturing emissions at original purchase. A component that enters a second service life through remanufacture is counted at zero embodied carbon for the second owner.
