Our Sustainable Solutions / Preventing E-waste is our Mission
At EcoTech Solutions, we specialize in repurposing aging computer hardware into fully functional network storage and security devices, preventing tons of electronic waste while delivering enterprise-grade performance.
1. NAS Storage Conversion
We transform old computers into high-performance Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices using our optimized Linux distributions. Our proprietary software stack ensures reliability while extending hardware lifespan by 3-5 years.
2. Media & Backup Servers
Convert retired workstations into powerful media servers with automated backup capabilities. Our kernel-level optimizations make these systems outperform many commercial solutions while reducing e-waste.
3. Mini Firewall Appliances
Breathing new life into old hardware by creating secure firewall devices. Our custom Linux builds include security hardening and performance tweaks that make these perfect for SMBs and home networks.
Our Technology Stack
-
Custom Linux Distributions - Optimized for legacy hardware with minimal resource usage
-
Kernel Optimization - Modified for better performance on older processors
-
Proprietary Management Software - Developed in-house for hardware monitoring and optimization
Environmental Impact
For every device we repurpose, we prevent approximately 20kg of e-waste from entering landfills. Our approach:
-
1.
Hardware Assessment - Comprehensive testing to determine optimal reuse path
-
2.
Component Salvage - Reusing functional parts from non-repairable systems
-
3.
Responsible Recycling - Certified disposal of truly end-of-life components
