Server Disposal: What Happens to Data and Hardware

In 2023, ESET researchers bought used enterprise routers off the resale market and could read configuration data on 16 of them. Nine still held sensitive company data, including network configurations and credentials from their previous owners. Servers carry the same kind of risk in their management controllers, but it gets far less attention. A single […]

Data Center ITAD: A Complete Guide

Retiring a server, storage array, or rack of networking gear isn’t a single event. It’s a series of decisions about data security, equipment condition, and where value can still be recovered before recycling or destruction, while minimizing environmental impact. Retired data center hardware can also retain more value than enterprises expect. A single decommissioned storage […]

Hard Drive Destruction Regulations: What Compliance Actually Requires

What GDPR, HIPAA, GLBA, and NIST 800-88 expect when a hard drive reaches end of life, and what more than $155 million in penalties and settlement costs can teach organizations about secure disposal. In September 2022, the SEC hit Morgan Stanley Smith Barney with a $35 million fine for how it handled old hard drives. […]

How to Plan and Execute a Data Center Shutdown Safely

Taking a live data center offline introduces risk before any maintenance or infrastructure work begins. Once systems start going offline, the margin for error narrows and the ability to recover depends on decisions made before shutdown. An overlooked dependency can extend an outage beyond its intended scope. An unvalidated recovery plan can leave critical systems […]

Growing Together with Aurora: From Pilot Programs to 150+ SLAs Monitored Every Day

When we introduced Aurora earlier this year, we focused on what she could do. Since then, the most valuable work has gone into depth, defining the service level targets for each program so Aurora measures every customer by the standards that program is actually held to.  Three things have changed since launch. Aurora knows each program in far more detail, she runs […]

How to Make Your IT Asset Tracking System Audit-Ready

Having an IT asset inventory is a good start, but it does not guarantee audit readiness. Many organizations can produce a list of devices, yet struggle to prove that those records accurately reflect their current IT stack.  During an audit, reviewers need evidence that assets exist, ownership information is correct, custody changes are documented, and […]

Automated Device Initialization: Removing the Prep Bottleneck in Mobile Refurbishment

  Innovation at Reconext begins with observation. The steps that draw the least attention often hold the largest gains, and preparing returned devices for testing is a clear example.  Every returned device has to be charged, erased, and brought up to current software before testing can begin. Done one at a time, that work sets the pace for everything behind […]

6 Best Practices for Enterprise Reverse Logistics

Reverse logistics programs are usually scoped as transportation. But the exposure sits in everything transportation doesn’t cover: custody records, data still resident on drives, and reconciliation across sites and regions. That gap widens during a refresh, a site relocation, or any infrastructure change that retires hardware faster than an asset register can absorb it. Closing […]

Built for Boring: How Verifone and Reconext Turned a Complex Supply Chain Into a Predictable One

  Brett Pagenkopp has a simple test for whether the day went well.  “Operationally, a great day is boring,” says the Senior Vice President of Operational Services at Verifone. “It means that we have had no issues, we’re fulfilling customer demand, we are meeting our efficiency output, all with 100% quality.”  That bar is harder […]

How to Implement an IT Asset Management Audit Program

Even organizations with well-defined IT asset management processes can still struggle with inaccurate asset records, policy gaps, and inconsistent controls. Without a structured audit process, these issues often remain undetected until an audit uncovers them. These gaps matter most when enterprise hardware approaches retirement. At that point every device has to answer four questions. Is […]
