Before you dispose — bank your hardware.
Redeploy. Extend its life.
Your organisation has already invested in technology hardware. Before buying replacements or disposing of retired equipment, determine what can be retained, prepared and used again. The Shield Solutions Hardware Bank is a managed service for holding suitable assets in controlled inventory and redeploying them when demand arises.

How the Hardware Bank works
1. Recover & assess
Receive surplus, retired or returned equipment. Confirm identity, condition, data security status and suitability for future use.
2. Bank & control
Register approved equipment, organise storage and maintain visibility over inventory, ownership and availability.
3. Allocate & redeploy
Match available assets to requests, prepare or configure equipment, and coordinate dispatch to the next user or site.
Workplace devices
Maintain available laptops, desktops, displays, peripherals and replacement devices for onboarding, device refresh and internal redeployment.
Infrastructure & critical spares
Hold compatible servers, networking hardware, storage equipment and reusable components to support existing environments and replacement demand.
Workflow integration
Where feasible and agreed, coordinate Hardware Bank events with procurement, HR, ITSM, endpoint management and inventory processes.
Exit & value recovery
When an asset is no longer suitable for the bank, assess it for remarketing or secure disposition rather than storing it indefinitely.
Buy less when you can. Keep what still has value.
Reduce unnecessary replacement purchases, improve spare-part availability and make existing assets work harder. Not every retired device should be banked; security, condition, compatibility, holding costs and likely future demand determine the right outcome.
