How has HPE developed?
HPE was formed in 2015 following the split of the successful Hewlett Packard company and has since focused entirely on enterprise infrastructure, hybrid cloud technologies and data centre hardware. However, its roots go back much further: over the years, HP also integrated Compaq’s server range, which shaped the market particularly in the early 2000s and has left its technical legacy in many ProLiant models to this day. Building on this history, HPE combines decades of experience in the server and storage sector with continuous innovation, high security standards and a clear focus on scalable, energy-efficient and reliable IT solutions. As a result, HPE is now a key partner for businesses of all sizes – from SMEs to global data centres.

FAQ on second-hand HPE equipment
What questions do users ask us about second-hand HPE equipment?
Yes. Refurbished HPE hardware undergoes a sophisticated testing process at our premises, is professionally refurbished in our in-house technical centre and, where necessary, fitted with upgrades. Manufacturing defects, which can sometimes occur in new equipment, can be ruled out, as the hardware has already been in reliable operation.
Details regarding guarantees and warranties can be found in our Terms and Conditions. We also offer optional warranty extensions so that you can protect your hardware in the long term.
Thanks to its outstanding durability and reliability, second-hand HPE hardware is ideal for professional users – whether SMEs, start-ups or large corporations. It depends on the series or model and the specific configuration. HPE’s enterprise hardware is designed for long-term use and continuous operation, and is therefore particularly fail-safe and stable.
Refurbished hardware conserves resources, reduces CO₂ emissions, extends the lifespan of IT systems and thus minimises electronic waste. Businesses benefit from greater sustainability and lower prices, without compromising on performance. Find out more about refurbished IT hardware here.
The main advantages are:
- Lower costs
- Same performance and quality (when professionally refurbished)
- Rapid availability
- CO₂ reduction and sustainability
The price of an HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen10 depends heavily on its specifications – in particular the CPU model (e.g. Intel Xeon Silver/Gold), RAM capacity, number of power supplies and the SSDs/HDDs installed. Refurbished models are generally significantly cheaper than new ones, but still offer enterprise-class performance, high energy efficiency and flexible expandability. For SMEs, start-ups and data centres, the DL360 Gen10 is a popular choice for virtualisation, web services and cluster environments.
The ‘CTO’ designation on the servers we offer stands for ‘Configure-to-Order’ and means that an empty chassis or a base model can be customised to meet the customer’s specific requirements.
