What is the HP Renew Program?

The HP Renew Program offers an extensive portfolio of quality remanufactured products as a complement to new HP products. Through an extensive process of remanufacturing and recertification, HP Renew offers you current, state of the art technology, in addition to older generation equipment. In fact, more than 80% of the HP Renew product portfolio is less than 12 months old.

This technology is guaranteed to be as good as new, as it has the same quality and performance you would expect from new, and comes with the same full original HP warranty as the equivalent new product.

HP Renew's high standards of quality assurance deliver a product that is not only HP branded, but cost compelling. HP Renew product list prices are lower than new, and most products are offered with attractive aggressive promotions, thus delivering a high performance, low cost solution when price really counts.

How is a product remanufactured?

All HP Renew products have undergone comprehensive HP refurbishment and testing processes, ensuring they are fully restored to meet HP standards. It is only then that they qualify for original HP warranty — your guarantee of HP quality and reliability!

Same great performance, same reliable quality, same support and warranty as HP new products!

Remanufactured HP products undergo comprehensive HP refurbishment and testing processes to completely restore them to meet HP's very stringent quality standards. This ensures they also satisfy customer's high quality expectations. With HP Renew products, customers can rest assured knowing they are getting the same high-quality and performance that is expected from new HP products.

It is only after completing the rigorous refurbishment process that HP Renew products qualify for original HP warranty — guaranteeing HP quality and reliability! In addition, service and support options are equivalent to that offered with new HP products and the most current software revisions are installed.

What type of warranty comes with HP Renew products?

All HP Renew products are backed by the original HP warranty. In other words, there is no difference between the warranty offered for a new HP product and the equivalent HP Renew product. The warranty of the HP Renew product starts with the date of purchase and refreshes the original warranty. It is important to note that this is not a remaining warranty policy.

As an example, if a new HP product has a three year warranty, the HP Renew solution will also carry a three year warranty. The HP Renew warranty applies from the time the customer takes delivery.

Additionally, all HP Renew products can have their warranties uplifted to accommodate Critical System Support, extended to 3Yr 24x7 or HP Care Packs. This means any support uplift that is available for new HP products is also available for HP Renew products.

How do you guarantee data security on HP Renew remanufactured products?

Since products in the HP Renew portfolio are returned to HP from various sources, there are often concerns about data being removed before the products are resold. As part of the rigorous refurbishment process all HP Renew products go through, all returned drives are reformatted and retested. During this process every drive is wiped clean of any data and every disk is separately overwritten. The process is based on methods described in the "National Industrial Security Program Operation Manual (US DoD 5220.22-M) of the US Department of Defense" so you can be assured the most stringent standards are implemented.

When is it appropriate to consider a remarketed solution?

Consider HP Renew if you or your customer can answer "yes" to any of the following questions:
  • Do you face budget constraints, but you still want top-quality HP products?
  • Do you need to expand to the latest technology,but at your own pace?
  • Do you want to cost-effectively maintain your current Infrastructure?
  • Do you want access to up to five generations of HP technology?
  • Do you want to purchase remarketed solutions direct from a trusted manufacturer, rather than sourcing less attractive alternatives from brokers?

Let HP Renew provide the best solution to meet your needs!
