Sustainability
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.
HOW PARK PLACE TECHNOLOGIES CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE MORE SUSTAINABLE IT PRACTICES
HARDWARE MAINTENANCE – Through our hardware maintenance services for IT storage, servers and networking hardware, including post-warranty and End of Service Life (EOSL) support services, we can help you keep your hardware assets for longer, while saving 30-40% against OEM maintenance costs.
Sustainability Factor – We help you become more sustainable though your IT, by extending your support services through either post-warranty support, or through a EOSL support service, enabling you to take advantage of your existing technology for longer versus a hardware refresh with all of the technology and packaging this may entail.
Furthermore, our hardware maintenance services can be delivered with our ParkView Hardware Monitoring™ service, which is underpinned with the industry’s only First-Time Fix™ Guarantee. With our guarantee, you can be safe in the knowledge that in the event of a fault, we will not require multiple trips to obtain resolution for you, reducing fuel and carbon usage in unspent journey times to site.
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES – With our IT Asset Disposition (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).
Sustainability Factor – We help you become more sustainable though your IT, by disposing of your hardware safely and securely. Some of the hardware or/and parts earmarked for disposal may be purchased from you to help support our spare parts and maintenance services, ensuring that together, we do our bit for the circular economy by enabling of the re-use and recycling of parts and systems.
ENTUITY SOFTWARE™ – Enterprise network monitoring, management, and performance solution to help you optimize your networking infrastructure.
Sustainability Factor – our services can be delivered through automation ensuring that you benefit from reduced e-waste and optimal networking infrastructure resulting in minimal downtime.
MANAGED SERVICES – Our range of infrastructure managed services include Discovery (find out which hardware assets you have in your IT environment and where, including Virtual Machines, Cloud Assets, and Peripherals as well as the storage, server, and networking hardware), Network Management, Server Management, and Storage Management.
Sustainability Factor – Our services can be delivered through automation, ensuring that you benefit from reduced e-waste. Knowing which technology assets you have, and where they are located in your infrastructure, will enable you to accurately pinpoint which assets you need, and prevent the potential for needless hardware purchases/sprawl.
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).
