Data deletion:

Data deletion is not always data deletion. 2,5 billion gigabytes of data are generated every day. In view of these high volumes, secure data erasure and storage media cleanup play a greater role than ever before. As a certified data deletion company, bb-net is subject to strict security guidelines and must take comprehensive measures to protect sensitive data.

Media detection:

Fully automatic media detection. Check the SIM card slots, DVD drives, internal USB sticks, media card slots and hard drives that should be deleted. If a medium is discovered or data is found, the affected device stops and an unavoidable error message appears until the cause has been eliminated. 

Data destruction:

If a data carrier is defective, data cannot be deleted. The only way to destroy defective data carriers in accordance with the highest security standards is to shred them using a certified DIN 66399-2, ISO 21964-2 media shredder. A shredder of this type is available in our Technology Center for this purpose and destroys data carriers such as hard drives in accordance with DIN 66399-2 H5. Smartphones, tablets, memory cards and USB sticks according to DIN 66399-2 E4 and tape drives, floppy disks and ID cards according to DIN 66399-2 T5.

Upon request, your devices can be upgraded with technical components such as memory or data carriers at no extra charge.

The components used will be determined together with you as part of the order. You only pay the pure hardware costs. If you have special retrofitting requests in terms of reworking time, costs or delivery times for special components, we can coordinate these with you in advance.

Upgrade:

  • Selection and purchase of desired components at the best prices
  • Professional installation of all components
  • Additional function and compatibility test
  • Configuration of BIOS and operating system if necessary

You tell us what software your hardware needs.

We either install a ready-made standard product or an image that is specific to your requirements in order to relieve your IT department as much as possible.

  • Installation of Windows operating system
  • Individual software applications according to your specifications

With this package, your devices not only receive an installation, but also legally compliant Windows licenses.

What is IT refresh?

IT refresh is the professional refreshment of existing hardware. Your existing hardware will be prepared and brought up to the latest technical standards. This applies not only to the hardware, but also to the software, such as the operating system - for example, the update from Windows 7 to Windows 10. So if you decide to do an IT refresh, you automatically act in a sustainable, resource-saving and extremely economical manner .

Why continue using used IT?

Business hardware in particular is ideal for an IT refresh - on the one hand, the built-in components are of very high quality and designed for a long service life; on the other hand, most devices are so technically well equipped that an upgrade with just a few components is necessary to to meet the latest technical requirements.
By extending the useful life you create liquidity on the one hand, and on the other hand you save valuable resources and thus our environment.

Why is the IT refresh worthwhile?

A professional refresh offers companies many advantages, upgrading existing hardware according to their own wishes and requirements, creating an improved optical condition, changing licenses and extending the warranty period. What is no longer up-to-date for one user, on the other hand, may be sufficient for the other. If, for example, a graphic designer needs a more powerful notebook, a standard business notebook is sufficient for the financial expert. So why not pass on hardware internally, achieve high savings and act in an environmentally friendly way?

Which used IT devices are suitable for IT refresh?

All devices that are suitable for remarketing and are from well-known manufacturers such as HP, Lenovo, Dell and Fujitsu. In general, however, one can say that devices such as notebooks, smartphones, tablets, displays, workstations and servers are suitable as used hardware for the IT refresh. All devices that are not suitable for the IT refresh must be certified for disposal by the processor; individual components can then be put into the Remarketing .
