We provide a comprehensive Data Centre Decommissioning and Data Centre consolidation service. This process consists of us bringing tools, equipment, personnel, pallets, etc. to the data centre and carefully disconnecting and un-racking each switch and server. This is performed by our highly skilled employees. Each piece of equipment is scanned into our inventory tracking system so that each piece can be duly accounted for. Asset Management and Asset Tracking is a key component to controlling costs and reducing risks for large enterprise customers. Each hard drive is removed and then scanned into the same system to match the host equipment. The process of matching hard drives to host equipment, means that every storage device has been fully accounted for and tracked.

On-site or Off-site wiping and or shredding of the hard drives can then be carried out after the drives were scanned and inventoried. Shredding hard drives right at the data centre eliminates all transportation risks. In this case all hard drives were shredded to 10mm and the process can be also recorded on a DVD for proof of compliance at the customer’s corporate office. After the equipment had been fully inventoried, including type, make, model and serial number, it was carefully packed for shipment to our warehouse for recycling.
