Two issues plague the computer hardware industry. First, rising demand for more powerful computers in combination with rising costs puts pressure on consumers, and as consumption of computers increases, rising amounts of E-wastes pollute local environments and contribute to global warming.

To provide consumers with affordable alternatives to switching to a new computer, and to protect the environment by reducing the amount of E-waste , we collect and refurbish old computers collected from junkyards and repurpose them into cloud computers that offer remote computing services at a cheap cost; with more powerful cloud computing technologies, we aim to give old computers a second life and keep them out of landfills.
