Research on remanufactured OCP infrastructure
Our whitepapers document what we learn from remanufacturing hyperscale hardware at scale: deployment economics, embodied carbon measurement, and the technical realities of bringing decommissioned OCP equipment back to enterprise standards.
Each paper is written for the people who make infrastructure decisions. IT directors weighing remanufactured against new. Sustainability teams that need audit-ready carbon data for ESG reporting. Operators who want to know exactly what “remanufactured to OEM spec” means in practice, from component-level testing to firmware validation.
The research draws on real deployment data from our Circular Centers in the US, EU and APAC, and on more than two decades of IT asset lifecycle experience through Sims Lifecycle Services. No marketing fluff, just numbers, methodology and conclusions you can verify.
What you will find in our whitepapers
- Cost comparisons between remanufactured OCP hardware and new equipment, including total cost of ownership over typical deployment cycles.
- Embodied carbon analysis: how much CO₂ a remanufactured rack avoids, how we measure it, and how Origin Mark traceability supports your ESG reporting.
- Deployment guidance: lead times, integration with existing racks, and what to expect when moving from traditional OEM procurement to OCP.
All whitepapers are free to download. New research is added regularly, so check back or follow us on LinkedIn to stay up to date.
