Data center equipment buyers in Burlingame
Most Burlingame facility teams call us at one of two moments: the week a consolidation is approved, or the week a landlord asks what the white-box date is. Either way the question is the same — what is the equipment worth, and who is going to get it out of the building? We answer both in one written offer. We are the buyer, the decommissioning contractor and the hauler, so there is a single number, a single schedule and a single certificate of insurance.
What California conditions mean for your number
Service in Burlingame is covered from our California routing along I-5, I-80, I-10, US-101 and the 405. Coordination with PG&E, Southern California Edison, SMUD, LADWP for de-energization and metering removal is part of the job, not a change order. Silicon Valley and the Santa Clara power district hold the densest concentration of enterprise and hyperscale white space in North America, and California's Title 24 and CARB requirements shape how generators and refrigerant-bearing equipment must be handled at removal.
What we buy in Burlingame
UPS Systems
We buy three-phase uninterruptible power supplies out of live and decommissioned white space: modular frames, monolithic units, matching battery cabinets and the static switches that go with them.
10 kVA – 2.5 MVA modulesFloor-mount, RPP and rack PDUsPDUs
Floor-mount PDUs with integral transformers, remote power panels, and metered or switched rack PDUs by the pallet — we buy all three tiers of distribution.
50 kVA – 1000 kVA floor unitsOverhead track, tap boxes, elbowsBusway
Overhead busway is the most reusable thing in a white space and the most commonly thrown away. We buy full runs, tap-off boxes, elbows and end feeds.
225 A – 5000 A runsLV and MV, ATS, breakersSwitchgear
Low-voltage lineups, medium-voltage metal-clad gear, automatic transfer switches and loose breakers — bought as complete lineups or section by section.
480 V – 38 kV lineupsDiesel and gas, enclosed or openGenerators
Standby diesel and natural gas generator sets, sub-base and belly tanks, paralleling gear and radiator packages — running or not.
100 kW – 3 MW standby setsAir-cooled, water-cooled, CRAH/CRACChillers
Air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, cooling towers, CRAC and CRAH units, pumps and dry coolers — the whole mechanical plant.
50 – 2000 ton capacityCompute, storage, network, GPUServers
Rackmount compute, storage arrays, network gear and GPU nodes — bought by the rack or by the hall, with documented data destruction.
Single racks – full hallsEverything the equipment sits inData Center Infrastructure
Cabinets, containment, cable tray, raised floor, fiber and copper plant — the structure everything else was mounted in.
Cabinets, tray, containment, floorHow a project runs
Once you accept an offer in Burlingame we schedule around your shutdown window, not ours. Nights, weekends and phased removals are normal. Our crews arrive with their own rigging, lift equipment, refrigerant recovery gear and packaging, pull the equipment, protect the floor and leave the space broom clean for the landlord or the next tenant.
How the offer is built
In some cases the equipment value exceeds our removal cost and you receive a payment; in others, on older or heavily stripped rooms, the removal cost exceeds the value and the project nets toward zero or a modest fee. We tell you which one you are looking at up front for your Burlingame site rather than discovering it halfway through demolition.
Data security and compliance
Data security is treated as a hard requirement, not a service add-on. Drives in Burlingame can be wiped to NIST 800-88 purge standards, degaussed, or physically shredded, on site if your policy requires it. Every serial number is captured and reported. Chain of custody is documented from the rack to the truck to the destruction record.
What you are actually buying from us
We do the decommissioning
Our crews rack out the hardware, de-energize and pull the electrical distribution, recover refrigerant, drain glycol, cut and cap piping, and break down containment and cabinets. You are not hiring a broker who then hires a rigger who then hires a hauler. One company, one point of contact, one insurance certificate.
We do the loading
Rigging, lift and crane work, dock plates, pallets, stretch wrap, load bars, straps and the trucks themselves are ours. Overhead busway comes down on lifts. Generators and chillers go out on cranes. Servers leave palletized and manifested. Nothing about the load-out becomes your problem.
Payment before the truck leaves
You are paid in full before equipment leaves your dock — wire, company check or cashier's check, your choice. No consignment, no percentage of eventual resale, no invoice you have to chase. The racks stay where they are until the money has landed.
Drive destruction, documented
Every data-bearing device is degaussed and physically destroyed, on your floor if you prefer. You receive a certificate of destruction listing serial numbers and a chain-of-custody record signed at each handoff, formatted so your audit team can reconcile it against your asset register.
The room is left clean
Floor tiles reset, penetrations patched, abandoned cable removed, debris hauled, and the space swept. Where a landlord or lease requires a specific restoration standard, we work to it and document the result with photographs before and after.
Written offers that hold
Quotes are written, itemized by category, and hold for thirty days. If your process needs a formal bid document, a W-9, a certificate of insurance naming your entity, or a purchase order reference on the offer, say so and it is on the paperwork.
Electrical equipment we also buy in Burlingame
Transformers, switchgear and general electrical apparatus are bought under dedicated programs, on the same terms:
