"Horizon Datacom provides two primary services: purchasing excess network hardware from customers who want to sell and providing refurbished gear for those who want to buy."[2]
I hated to see network hardware thrown out with the trash. I can’t tell you how many mounds of equipment I’ve seen headed off to the dump or shredder. Routers and switches aren’t like old monitors and desktop computers—they hold their value far longer[3]
Primarily focusing on Cisco, PowerConnect, ProCurve, Foundry Networks, Force10, Extreme Networks, and Brocade Communications Systems manufactured network hardware; Horizon Datacom has no restrictions on brands it will buy and sell.
