Sustainability

Park Place Escalates a 30-year Tradition

While “sustainability” may be a new buzzword for many, at Park Place Technologies, we have been preaching about sustainability practices through our IT services and our role in the IT circular economy for over 30 years. At Park Place Technologies, we believe we can be a successful business and do good to protect our people and the environment for future generations. We are motivated to drive change through the adoption of sustainability within our own organization whilst working with our customers, our partners, and our supply chain, and helping them by supporting their sustainability journey through the technology and the technology services we provide.

The concept of sustainability in technology describes how technological innovation considers natural resources to foster economic and social development, helping to drastically reduce environmental and ecological impacts through the adoption of new and alternative technologies and technological services.

Park Place Technologies values the importance of reducing IT waste and recognizes the positive impact the reduction of IT waste can have on the environment, which is why we offer a range of IT services that play their part in the circular economy, as well as IT services that can help organizations become more sustainable through their IT.

Our IT services adhere to the environmental ‘Three R’s’ (Re-use, Reduce and Recycle) model.

CURVATURE HARDWARE – We can help with the sourcing and procurement of new and pre-owned storage, server and networking hardware.

Sustainability Factor – If you are looking for a hardware refresh for your storage, server, and networking equipment, you may wish to consider pre-owned hardware as an alternative to new hardware through our Curvature Hardware division. Beyond the cost savings available to you by procuring pre-owned hardware, you will also benefit from knowing that you have played your part in the circular economy by purchasing fit-for-purpose pre-owned hardware, ensuring their re-use. Another benefit to you in the current marketplace is that you are more likely to obtain your pre-owned hardware immediately, against new hardware procurement, which is where you may experience long fulfilment delays due to the current global chip shortage and global supply chain issues.

IT Circular Economy: A Park Place Commitment

Park Place Technologies is committed to playing our part to help the environment by being an environmentally sustainable organization. We make this commitment to our employees, our customers, our partners and the wider IT and technology industries.

While “sustainability” may be a new buzzword for many, at Park Place, we have been preaching about sustainability practices through our IT services and our role in the IT circular economy for over 30 years.

The circular economy is an economic model that ensures that resources which enter the economy are able to remain a part of it for as long as possible. In IT, this means ensuring that technology and technology services remain in use for as long as is practically possible, while adopting the “Re-use, Reduce and Recycle” concept.

Park Place Technologies values the importance of reducing IT waste and recognizes the positive impact the reduction of IT waste can have on the environment – which is why we offer a range of services which play their part in the circular economy.


Park Place Technologies services adhere to the environmental “Three R’s” (Re-use, Reduce and Recycle) in the following ways:

Re-use – We can help you extend the life of your existing IT storage, server and networking hardware through our range of post-warranty and End of Service Life (EOSL) support servers for a multitude of OEM systems and models. Additionally, if you are looking for a hardware refresh, via our Curvature Hardware business, we can provide you with a range of pre-owned storage, server and networking hardware.

Reduce – We can help reduce wastage when disposing of your IT hardware through a complete, safe, secure and ethical disposal of your data center hardware equipment through our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) service.

Recycle – We can recycle unwanted equipment into the maintenance, hardware brokerage, pre-owned hardware supply and scrap/ refining markets.

POST-WARRANTY AND END OF SERVICE LIFE (EOSL) SUPPORT SERVICES

Park Place Technologies specializes in supporting and maintaining post-warranty and End of Service Life (EOSL) equipment, saving 30-40% when compared from maintenance costs from the OEM. We help organizations around the world keep and continue to use their existing data center hardware — including storage, server and networking hardware — beyond their warranty and EOSL period. Should this infrastructure ever require upgrades, such as additional shelves of storage, more memory or CPUs, we can take care of their sourcing, supply, installation and support.

Additionally, through our IT hardware maintenance services, we offer automated maintenance through our ParkView Hardware Monitoring™ service which is underpinned by the IT industry’s only First-Time Fix™ Guarantee.

PRE-OWNED HARDWARE FROM CURVATURE HARDWARE

If you are looking for a hardware refresh for your storage, server and networking equipment, you may wish to consider pre-owned IT hardware as an alternative to new hardware through our Curvature Hardware division. Beyond the cost savings available to you by procuring pre-owned hardware, you will also benefit from knowing that you have played your part in the circular economy by purchasing fit for purpose pre-owned hardware, ensuring their re-use. Another benefit to you is that you are more likely to obtain your pre-owned hardware immediately, against new hardware procurement, which is where you may experience long fulfilment delays due to the current global chip shortage and global supply chain issues.

IT ASSET DISPOSITION (ITAD)

With our ITAD services, you can be sure that your hardware will be disposed of safely and securely, with secure data erasure and the provision of compliant documentation to Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment standards (WEEE).
