Fortinet / Juniper-specific drivers of per-unit INR value.
Fortinet residual drivers: FortiCare contract state (Active / Expired / Renewable), UTM bundle license state (FortiGuard subscriptions for IPS, AV, Web Filter), and recent firmware compatibility. FortiGates with 1+ year remaining FortiCare command 25โ40% premium; out-of-FortiCare kit drops 30โ40% as the buyer inherits an unsupportable platform.
Juniper residual drivers: Junos software entitlement, JCare contract state, AI-Driven Enterprise license tier (where applicable on EX / MX). MX-series with service contracts carry the strongest premium because the buyer inherits carrier-grade enterprise routing. QFX5120 in particular has strong refurb demand in India + GCC markets.
Pre-decom: configuration, AAA secrets, route reflectors, BGP authentication, and SNMPv3 credentials should be cleared via your normal change-management. At packout, NIST 800-88 Purge on flash / NVRAM partitions; documented per device.
Per-job Certificate of Destruction. Serial-level chain of custody.
Every drive that leaves your premises is sanitised to NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 (Clear / Purge / Destroy) and IEEE 2883-2022 storage-sanitisation methods, with DoD 5220.22-M overwrite available on request for legacy audit-compatibility. Each engagement ships with a per-job Certificate of Destruction listing serial numbers, sanitisation method per device, operator initials, and a SHA-256 hash of the supporting log file โ the evidence pack that goes into your DPDPA 2023 ยง 8 (Reasonable Security Safeguards) and RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction file.
Serial-level chain of custody is recorded from the moment a device leaves your premises to the moment it is sanitised. We carry professional indemnity, public-liability, and transit insurance, all INR-denominated. Right-to-audit clauses in our Statements of Work are standard for our BFSI customers โ RBI-regulated banks, IRDAI-regulated insurers, and SEBI-regulated capital-markets participants.
How a Maxicom India buyback runs from asset list to settlement.
Step 1 โ Asset list. You send a CSV / spreadsheet with serial numbers, makes, models, and configurations (CPU SKU tier, RAM total, drive count and type). Within 2 working hours we issue a written, INR-denominated, per-line indicative quote. Larger jobs (full-rack data-centre decom) get a site survey scheduled within 24 hours.
Step 2 โ Statement of Work. We sign an SoW that specifies the sanitisation method (NIST 800-88 Clear or Purge, or physical destruction where required), the chain-of-custody handoff points, the right-to-audit clause, and the settlement timeline (typically 5 business days from disposition).
Step 3 โ Pickup. Locked, GPS-tracked transit. Two-operator + witness sign-off discipline at packout. On-site witnessed destruction available where data-bearing media cannot leave the premises (common for some hospitals, certain bank trading floors, and government-cleared facilities).
Step 4 โ Destruction + settlement. Drives sanitised to NIST 800-88; non-data hardware refurbished and remarketed through domestic India + SAARC trader and reseller channels. Per-job Certificate of Destruction issued on completion. INR settlement to your nominated account.
Maxicom India โ frequently asked
Indicative INR for a FortiGate 1000F with active FortiCare?
Rs6,000โ11,000 working/tested for a FortiGate 1000F with active FortiCare 24x7 and a UTM bundle (IPS + AV + Web Filter + Application Control) transferable. Out-of-FortiCare drops the same unit to Rs3,000โ6,000.
Do you accept Juniper SRX firewalls retired from a Mumbai bank?
Yes. SRX1500 / SRX4100 / SRX5400 retired from Mumbai BFSI is a routine engagement. NIST 800-88 Purge on the device's flash. RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction-grade evidence pack โ per-device serial logged on the Certificate of Destruction with operator sign-off.
Are bulk FortiAP buyouts handled?
Yes. FortiAP buybacks (typical India campus refresh: 50โ500 access points across multi-floor offices) are bulk-priced at Rs500โ2,000 per AP depending on model and FortiCare state. Two-week pickup typical for full-campus refresh.
Can Fortinet and Juniper be on the same engagement?
Yes โ multi-OEM engagements are standard. One Statement of Work, one project manager, one consolidated INR settlement. We document each OEM's licensing state separately on the quote.
How quickly can I get an INR quote for these assets?
Within 2 working hours of receiving your asset list (CSV with serial numbers, makes, models, configurations). Larger jobs requiring a site survey: survey within 24 hours, quote within 1 working day after the survey.
Do you cover multi-location pickups across India metros?
Yes. Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Gurugram, Noida โ same-week pickup is standard. Tier-2 cities (Jaipur, Kolkata, Chandigarh-Mohali, Ahmedabad, Indore, Coimbatore, Kochi) covered with 5โ10 business-day lead time. One Statement of Work, one project manager, one consolidated INR settlement.
Are your buyback engagements DPDPA 2023-aligned?
Yes. Per-job Certificate of Destruction citing NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 + IEEE 2883-2022 standards. Serial-level chain of custody. Documentation slots into your DPDPA 2023 ยง 8 (Reasonable Security Safeguards) evidence file. The Data Protection Board of India does not certify ITAD vendors, so what we offer is alignment, not certification.
Do you handle BFSI engagements (RBI / SEBI / IRDAI)?
Yes. RBI IT-Risk Management Master Direction-aware destruction documentation for banks and NBFCs. SEBI Cyber Security and Cyber Resilience Framework-aware for capital-markets participants. IRDAI Information and Cyber Security Guidelines-aware for insurers. Right-to-audit clauses standard in our SoWs.
Can on-site destruction be arranged at our facility?
Yes. Two formats: mobile shred unit (truck-mounted industrial shredder, particle size <2mm) or witnessed-wipe operator (NIST 800-88 Clear / Purge with member of your team witnessing each device). Documentation pack identical to in-facility destruction. Cost typically 15โ25% higher; lead time 5โ10 business days.
