IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services play a pivotal role in promoting environmental sustainability. ITAD ensures proper e-waste disposal, preventing dangerous chemicals and metals from polluting landfills and ecosystems.

Key Industries affected and how the circular economy can alleviate their impact:

• Textiles: Implementing circular practices could cut water consumption by up to 85%, land use by 40%, and carbon footprint by 44%.
• Manufacturing: Manufacturing and product use account for nearly 50% of global greenhouse emissions. Embracing global circularity could reduce these emissions by 39%, contributing to climate mitigation.
• E-waste: Recycling electronics in the circular economy, specifically through IT Asset Disposition (ITAD), not only mitigates pollution but also recovers high-value metals worth nearly $50 billion annually.

As environmental concerns grow, the ITAD industry's role in supporting sustainability and revenue goals becomes increasingly vital. Learn more about ServerMonkey's ITAD services and how they can support your enterprise's sustainability and revenue goals.

ServerMonkey's operational team is prepared to handle IT equipment at every step, from inbound to outbound. Check out our team at work in our latest video!

Our process:

• We start by tearing servers down to the component level.
• Then we test all inbound drives and memory so we can responsibly dispose of any dead drives and faulty memory
• The server chassis and components are then added to our inventory, ready to be pulled for a custom build.
• Every server we sell is built-to-order to meet your exact specifications.
• We test each server to ensure it’s ready to go from the moment you receive it.
• Every server is covered for a year with our warranty program and can be upgraded up to 5 years.
• We take our packaging seriously to ensure your server arrives safely and ready to go.

The end of 2020 is near and you have some cash left in your budget. It’s time for your business to purchase some servers and a few questions come to mind.

• “Which vendor do I choose?”
• “What form factors do I need?”
• “What configuration choices should I make?”

But these questions overlook something fundamental, a question that could save you money as well as offer added flexibility.

“Should I choose new or refurbished?”

Today we’re doing something we’ve never done at ServerMonkey, and we think you’ll like it. We’re releasing 100% OEM compatible, ServerMonkey branded and supported optical transceivers for Dell Technologies and HPE, along with optical cables for Dell EMC. We’ve partnered with leading manufacturers of Tier 1 optics, used by the largest telecommunications companies, to ensure quality, reliability, and value.

This is a big deal for our customers. Now we have new ways to support them with the network connectivity options they need to build high-performance, high-reliability infrastructure. Instead of searching the web for the right transceivers, armed with a part number, a description, or even just a picture, they’ll be able to come to us for help, choosing optics from our full range of options, from 10Gb to 100Gb. We even have a parts compatibility matrix, making it easy for you to match an OEM part with the ServerMonkey equivalent.

Not only are we giving you a full range of options, we’ve made our options better. For starters, we’re keeping the cost of our optics around 40-65% of the OEM optics. We’re adding a lifetime warranty with next day parts dispatch. And we’re making sure that our customers can buy optics with their servers or as add-on parts to support existing infrastructure. In other words, we’re offering speed and simplicity others can’t match.

So what else do you need to know? They’re immediately available, here’s a link to the press release, a link to the optics section of our website, and if you want hands-on assistance, email us here with questions or sales inquiries. We’re ready to help!

In-house designed optical transceivers 100 percent compatible with OEM solutions with a lifetime warranty

HOUSTON, October 12, 2020 – ServerMonkey, an IT service provider that specializes in enterprise and SMB IT hardware, today announced a new collection of ServerMonkey optical transceivers and cables to help customers with a wide range of networking requirements for HPE, Dell EMC, and other major OEM brands.

The new ServerMonkey optical transceivers are 100 percent compatible with OEM solutions, enabling customers to buy and deploy transceivers for a wide range of HPE, Dell EMC, and other major OEM brands’ systems. ServerMonkey transceivers and cables are priced up to 60 percent less than OEM solutions and come with a lifetime replacement warranty, with replacements received within one to two business days if a part fails.

Are you curious how ServerMonkey refurbishes servers? To give you an idea, we’ve decided to take you on a journey. We’re going to let you experience what it’s like for a data center server to go through the refurbishment process at ServerMonkey. After all, our refurbishment process gives you what you’re looking for—a server with a new lease on life.

Where it all begins

As you know, many organizations replace their servers every couple of years because, back in the day, older servers weren’t reliable and processor performance doubled every 24 months. But today, servers are more reliable, processor performance gains are slowing, and organizations, from Amazon on down¹, are discovering that late-model servers have plenty of value.

ServerMonkey helps organizations leverage that value.

We take our packaging seriously to ensure your server arrives safely and ready to go. We use special bags filled with foam that expands and hardens to conform around the server to keep it in place. Check out this video for a peek at our process!

How the Death of Moore’s Law Helps You Save Money

Ever heard of Moore’s Law? It’s an idea from the early days of microprocessor production that still matters today.

Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Intel, saw that the number of transistors on a microchip doubled about every two years. As a result, microchip performance increased dramatically after every generation. You remember those days – when every new Intel Xeon processor delivered nearly 2x the performance of the preceding generation.

But…there are limits, physical limits on the size of transistors and the complexity of chip design.
