Refurbished Network Equipment & Enterprise Hardware Sourcing
We source refurbished network equipment and new enterprise IT hardware across the brands your network already runs on — with condition and warranty disclosed before you order.
Northlane Services sources refurbished network equipment, new enterprise IT hardware, and everything in between — covering used Cisco equipment, refurbished Cisco switches, refurbished servers, and storage hardware from the brands your network already runs on. Hardware sourcing with us means straight answers about condition and availability instead of a sales pitch, whether you're replacing a single failed switch or planning a full infrastructure refresh.
Enterprise IT hardware procurement usually comes down to one tradeoff: pay full price for new equipment with the longest warranty, or find a reliable source for refurbished gear that performs identically at a lower cost. We help you make that call item by item, not as a blanket policy — a single refurbished Cisco switch for a wiring closet gets the same attention as a full rack refresh. Performance doesn't change based on how many previous owners a unit had; port counts, throughput, and feature sets are fixed by the hardware itself, not by its sales history.
As an enterprise IT hardware supplier, we work across networking, security, servers, storage, and AI/GPU infrastructure brands rather than locking you into one manufacturer's catalog. If you already know the part number or model you need, tell us. If you just know what the hardware needs to do — more switch ports, a bigger storage array, a replacement for an aging server — we'll help narrow it down to options that actually fit.
Refurbished network equipment gets tested and, in most cases, has any failed components replaced before it ships. It isn't the same as buying something untested off a resale marketplace — reputable sourcing includes a functional test pass and a stated warranty, and we tell you what was tested and what the warranty covers before you order anything.
What's included
Hardware sourcing through Northlane covers the full range of enterprise IT hardware procurement, not just a narrow slice of it — here's what's typically included in a sourcing engagement:
- Refurbished network equipment sourcing — switches, routers, and wireless access points
- Used Cisco equipment, including refurbished Cisco switches, routers, and firewalls
- Refurbished servers and storage hardware for virtualization and general compute
- New equipment sourcing when refurbished stock isn't the right fit
- Condition (new or refurbished) and warranty coverage disclosed before you order
- Sourcing across the networking, security, servers/storage, and AI/GPU brands we carry
How it works
Tell us what you need
Contact us with the equipment type, brand preference, and condition you're after — a single refurbished Cisco switch or a full enterprise hardware procurement project. The more detail you give us about your environment and timeline, the faster we can confirm realistic options.
We check availability
We confirm what's available across our sourcing channels, including used Cisco equipment and refurbished servers, and note realistic lead times so you're not left guessing about when hardware will actually arrive.
We confirm condition and warranty
Before you commit to anything, we tell you exactly what condition the hardware is in — new or refurbished — and what warranty coverage comes with it. There's no surprise fine print after the order ships.
Hardware ships to your site
Once everything's confirmed, hardware ships to your location. For larger hardware sourcing projects, we can coordinate staging and delivery timing around your install schedule, so equipment arrives when your team is actually ready for it.
Brands we work with
Hardware sourcing with Northlane spans the brands enterprise networks are actually built on. Visit our Products page for the full list of networking, security, servers, storage, and AI/GPU infrastructure brands we source from, including the manufacturers behind the used Cisco equipment and refurbished servers we carry most often.
We don't push every request toward a single manufacturer's catalog. If your environment is standardized on one brand, we source within that standard; if you're open to recommendations, we'll suggest options based on what the hardware actually needs to do rather than what happens to be easiest for us to sell.
Networking & Wireless: Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, HPE Networking, Ruckus (CommScope), Arista
Security: Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Security
Servers & Storage: Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo
Who it's for
Hardware sourcing through Northlane fits a range of situations, whether you're replacing one device or planning a multi-site refresh:
- IT directors managing a hardware refresh who want new and refurbished options evaluated side by side
- Growing businesses that need enterprise IT hardware without paying new-unit pricing on every single item
- IT teams who want a straightforward IT hardware procurement process without a published price list to dig through
- Organizations standardized on Cisco who need used Cisco equipment sourced reliably, with a stated warranty
