Sims Lifecycle Services

New OCP equipment is typically installed in hyperscale data centers, where it plays a pivotal role in delivering high-performance computing solutions. However, as cloud providers upgrade their infrastructure, pre-owned OCP servers and racks get freed up. This is where Rack Renew steps in. Powered by Sims Lifecycle Services, Rack Renew refurbishes and resells pre-owned OCP servers and equipment for use in less intensive workloads, typically Tier II and Tier III data centers and enterprise companies. This approach enables organizations to acquire high-performance refurbished servers and components at a fraction of the cost, contributing to substantial cost savings and extended product lifecycles.

Sean Magann on the panel “The Future of Electronics” and our team at Electronics Sustainability Summit, 2nd day! Bob de Jong Kimberly Labanauskas Sophia Runau #eSummit2024 #ElectronicsSustainability #CircularEconomy #ITAD #Sustainability #ITrecycling #Innovation #Circularity

Throwback to an incredible Open Compute Project Foundation Global Summit: A record crowd of 7,000 attendees, making this one for the books! It was pleasure to have our CEO Stephen Mikkelsen alongside Dean Nelson, Rob Lawson, and Rob Coyle presenting a story on the GPU Circular Economy. Our Chief Commercial Officer Sean Magann tackled the rapid growth of data centers and their environmental challenges. In addition, Hesham Ghoneim presented a Comparative Lifetime Carbon Efficiency Study of an OCP server, highlighting its emissions compared to older systems. We also showcased our Rack Renew project, which assists data centers in saving costs and cutting emissions by promoting the reuse and refurbishment of OCP equipment. In collaboration with Qarnot we participated in the Innovation Village, where we showcased our work repurposing hardware from hyperscalers into new server builds. These servers are designed to redistribute and offset heat to optimize energy. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to the success of this amazing event!

Exciting News: Qarnot at the OCP Global Summit with Sims Lifecycle Services ♻ We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS), a global leader in IT asset disposition and data center decommissioning. Together, we're setting a new standard for sustainability in the data center industry! As the demand for data center computing continues to rise, the need for high-quality refurbished hardware has never been more urgent. Our collaboration focuses on repurposing decommissioned servers from hyperscalers, giving them a second life while optimizing energy consumption. Sims Lifecycle Services, renowned for its expertise in refurbishing OCP hardware, ensures that high-performance servers are given a second life, effectively reducing waste and lowering carbon footprints. By repurposing the heat generated by servers to power heating networks or swimming pools, Qarnot’s innovative QBx is the perfect continuation for this circular economy principle. This partnership reflects our shared vision of transforming how data centers manage energy and hardware resources by leveraging second-hand equipment and optimizing heat reuse. 🤝 Join us at the OCP Summit, where we will showcase the QBx and engage in collaborative discussions about the future of sustainability in data centers. 📍 Location: Innovation Village, on the lower mezzanine (foyer of rooms LL20BC), alongside OCP’s Future Technologies Symposium (FTS). #OCPSummit #Sustainability #DataCenters #CircularEconomy #Qarnot #SimsLifecycleServices #Innovation Open Compute Project Foundation
