What is Data Center Decommissioning?

Decommissioning That Protects Data, Compliance, and Budgets

Data center decommissioning is the structured retirement of IT infrastructure and facility equipment, servers, storage, networking gear, racks, cabling, and supporting assets, without introducing security or operational risk.

When you typically need it

Data center closure, consolidation, or colocation exit
Cloud migration or hybrid modernization
Lease expiration or end-of-life refresh cycles
M&A, divestitures, or large-scale infrastructure changes

Why it’s risky without the right partner

Poor decommissioning can expose sensitive data, break chain-of-custody, and create compliance or environmental liabilities. exIT Technologies reduces these risks with certified processes and audit-ready reporting.
