Before initiating the data center decommissioning project, an audit of the data center environment of assets to be decommissioned can be beneficial. Many times, additional assets to be decommissioned are found which provide extra capital to be profit shared. Other times, asset maps contain errors, and mission critical servers are decommissioned erroneously or before workloads could be migrated. We can use agent-less discovery tools that are minimally invasive, or do manual asset audits depending on your compliance needs.
Regardless of your data center environment, we can securely decommission your equipment. Whether you have standard server racks with traditional air cooling equipment, or immersion cooled HPC clusters.
There’s no need to waste precious IT staff on palletization and logistics. We will ensure that servers are packaged securely and reach their destination undamaged. At every juncture where possession changes, the chain of custody will be recorded. Your servers will be GPS tracked from you to us, and your assets will be insured to protect you from any risk.
exIT Technologies specializes in remarketing data center IT equipment. While many IT disposition companies only acquire equipment from decommissioning projects, we purchase disproportionately large volumes of data center equipment outright, often from other ITAD vendors, simply because we are able to recover more value from it. For those clients who would like to repurpose their IT hardware for use in a department with lower compute demands, we can arrange for redeployment within their enterprise.
We maintain a certification to the R2 standard and are regularly 3rd party audited to ensure that we are compliant with environmental policies and regulations.
For clients that wish to carry out the majority of the decommissioning project themselves, we are happy to provide a project manager to help ensure data center decommissioning best practices.
The main factors to consider when choosing between data center decommissioning companies are:
For environmental compliance, R2 or E-stewards should both cover most organizations’ needs. If you don’t know which data or asset disposition regulations pertain to your company, we can help you determine which ones are applicable.
Because projects vary greatly, many data center decommissioning companies specialize in certain types of projects. A project with a large volume of low volume equipment would benefit most from a company focused on recycling and disposition. While a project involving still valuable IT hardware would benefit most from a decommissioning company who specializes in remarketing IT assets and profit sharing, such as exIT Technologies.
Depending on which countries and how many locations your project entails, some companies will be better suited than others. For example, exIT Technologies is well equipped for global projects carried out over multiple locations simultaneously, while some Data Center Decommissioning companies may only work nationally.
