Retired IT assets continue to pose a data security risk to your organization long after they leave the enterprise. Laptops, servers, drives, mobile devices, and networking equipment can still hold regulated data, intellectual property, credentials, customer information, and internal records. Without a secure and compliant IT asset disposition (ITAD) process, the result can be a […]

Data Center Decommissioning: The Ultimate Checklist

Every data center has an end of life. Sometimes it’s a cloud migration, sometimes a merger, sometimes just the cost of keeping old hardware alive. But when that day comes, pulling the plug is the easy part. A bigger and more complicated question is “what happens next?” Closing a data center isn’t just an IT […]

Where to do data center decommissioning

Data center decommissioning: where do we actually do this? On-site? Off-site? Ship it out and hope?  Sounds like a rookie question. It isn’t. “Where” decides custody, evidence, carbon, and cash.
