Rackwipe In-Rack Data Erasure for Data Center Decommissioning

Erase servers in place. No removal. No risk.

Wipe every drive, switch, and config in place – no unplugging, unstacking, or relocating required. Rackwipe automates secure in-rack erasure at scale, eliminating physical handling, accelerating decom timelines, and locking down chain-of-custody from start to finish.

The cost of manual decommissioning

Manual server removal creates expensive problems:

  • Custody gaps expose orgs to data breach liability
  • Slow, sequential processing inflates site time and cost
  • Physical handling leads to asset loss and inventory errors
  • Inconsistent wipe standards open compliance vulnerabilities

Automated data center decommissioning process

Scan & Inventory

01

Capture all connected hardware, serials, and configurations at rack level. Every asset is logged, photographed, and linked to serialized audit trails.

Connect & Initialize Erasure

02

Automated connection via management ports and controllers. Custody locks from step one.

Forensic Data Wipe

03

DoD 5220.22-M erasure on every drive, config, and switch. No skips, no exceptions.

Audit & Report

04

Serialized logs and compliance reports generated automatically. Secure, auditable, and ready for GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST, or your next audit.

In-rack data erasure FAQs

How does in-rack server erasure connect to servers?
Using management ports and controller interfaces. No drive removal required.
Can automated decommissioning handle mixed hardware environments?
Yes. Rackwipe is compatible with multi-vendor, multi-generation server environments.
What compliance standards does Rackwipe meet?
DoD 5220.22-M, GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST, with serialized audit logging.
How long does it take to process a rack?
Full rack erasure and audit logging can be completed within hours, depending on rack size.
Can in-rack erasure data integrate with asset management systems?
Yes. Reports and serialized inventory data can export to ERP and IT asset management tools.
