Griffin-IT

Current supply chains are broken, and logistics can be challenging to say the least. Credit and cash flow situations for end users are becoming more difficult and traditional distributors are experiencing unprecedented lead times. All of these market conditions make finding the right used IT equipment for my partners a valuable service. If you have equipment available and would like a purchase price offer, we are doing purchases daily. 

With the uncertainty and doubt that this year has brought to almost all markets, I have focused on a segment that has always done well in uncertain times. IT asset management and procurement of IT equipment. Buying mostly data center equipment for my MSP, Integrator, End User and VAR partners.

1. Servers: Dell & HP – Rack mount and towers - from dell 11th gen (ie. R710, R720, R730, R610, R620, R630) and HP 7th gen (ie. Dl360 and dl380 g7, g8, g9) and newer
2. Server Components: Ram - DDR3 and DDR4 Processors – 5600 series, E5 v1 v2 v3 and v4
3. VOIP Phones: Cisco, Polycom, Avaya
4. Cisco data - switching, routing, transport. and optics equipment.
5. Desktop and Laptop equipment and components
6. Adtran and Cienna Enterprise and most carrier grade equipment
7. Motorola, Calix, Occam, and Scientific Atlanta CPE (set-top boxes, modems, and ONTs)
8. IPTV set-top boxes (Entone, Amino, ADB, Motorola VIP, Cisco CIS/IPN)

10. ASSET RECOVERY - buying your idle assets and decommissioned or surplus equipment
