Data Center Decommissioning
Secure Decommissioning. Complete Compliance.
Decommissioning a data center requires precision, security, and full compliance. Retired servers, storage arrays, and networking hardware often contain sensitive data and regulated materials that must be removed, destroyed, transported, and recycled responsibly. Reboot Tech LLC provides complete data center decommissioning for enterprise IT teams, cloud providers, colocation facilities, and organizations undergoing migration or upgrades. Our process protects your data, minimizes operational impact, and maximizes return on retired IT assets.
We support clients across Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, the Bay Area, and Silicon Valley.
What We Do
-
Detailed Asset Inventory & Audit
We document every server, switch, rack, UPS, cable, and storage device before anything is powered down or moved. This includes make, model, serial number, and condition — giving you a complete, audit-ready inventory and accurate reporting.
-
Certified Data Destruction
Before devices leave your facility, we securely sanitize or destroy all data-bearing media. This includes NIST 800-88 compliant wiping, physical shredding of hard drives and SSDs, and verification for tapes and other media. You receive Certificates of Destruction and full chain-of-custody documentation that meet HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and enterprise security requirements.
-
Professional De-installation & Rack Removal
Our technicians handle the complete removal of all hardware and infrastructure. We safely de-install servers, power equipment, cabling, network systems, and full rack assemblies. Every action follows established procedures to avoid damage, protect the facility, and prevent accidental disruption to any remaining equipment or live systems.
-
Secure Packing & Chain-of-Custody Transport
Once equipment is removed, we prepare it for transport using proper packaging, labeling, and sealing. Each pallet or container is tagged for traceability, and we maintain a documented chain-of-custody from your site to our processing facility. This ensures your organization has complete visibility into the movement of all retired assets.
-
Value Recovery & Buyback Options
Many decommissioned servers, switches, storage devices, and high-value components retain meaningful resale value. We evaluate eligible equipment and offer competitive buyback pricing. This helps offset the cost of decommissioning and generates financial return on hardware that still has a secondary market.
-
Responsible Recycling & Final Processing
Hardware that cannot be resold is processed through certified, environmentally compliant recycling channels. We handle regulated materials, batteries, metals, plastics, and electronics according to EPA, DTSC, and California environmental standards. Your organization receives documentation confirming responsible downstream processing.
-
Complete Documentation & Reporting
At the end of your project, we deliver a complete set of documentation. This includes your asset inventory, certificates of destruction, recycling summaries, tracking records, transport logs, value recovery statements, and any required compliance documents. These records support internal audits, regulatory reviews, and sustainability initiatives.
Why It Matters
Data centers store critical and sensitive information across hundreds or thousands of interconnected assets. When shutting down or refreshing infrastructure, organizations must ensure secure data destruction, accurate asset tracking, compliant disposal, and minimal disruption to daily operations. A single oversight can cause data exposure, compliance violations, environmental penalties, and unnecessary financial loss. Our team ensures your decommissioning project is handled with complete security, transparency, and efficiency.
Our process
-
Assessment & Project Planning
We begin with a full evaluation of your facility, equipment scope, compliance requirements, and operational needs. This planning phase ensures a clear schedule, a safe workflow, and minimal interruption to your daily operations.
-
Comprehensive Asset Inventory
Our team creates a detailed map of your data center equipment, recording every device and component. This structured inventory ensures accurate tracking and complete documentation throughout the project.
-
Certified Data Destruction
Before any asset is moved, all data-bearing devices are wiped or destroyed using approved methods. This step eliminates the risk of data exposure and ensures compliance with all relevant security frameworks.
-
De-installation & Infrastructure Breakdown
We carefully dismantle servers, racks, cabling, power systems, and networking hardware. Each action is performed methodically to protect the building, equipment, and any remaining operational systems.
-
Secure Packing & Transport
Once removed, equipment is prepared for transport using secure packaging and labeling. We maintain chain-of-custody control so you always know where your assets are during transport.
-
Asset Processing: Buyback or Recycling
After arrival at our facility, equipment is evaluated for resale value or processed for recycling. Reusable hardware is prepared for remarketing, while end-of-life materials are responsibly recycled.
-
Final Reporting
You receive a complete reporting package documenting every asset, destruction action, and recycling outcome. This ensures full regulatory compliance and clear internal record-keeping.
