Data Center Decommissioning
Secure. Transparent. Process-Driven.
We understand the pressure of decommissioning a data center — security risks, compliance demands, tight timelines, and live operations all at once. That’s why our service is designed to remove complexity, eliminate data risk, and give you complete confidence at every stage.
Whether you’re consolidating facilities, migrating to the cloud, or retiring legacy infrastructure, our structured, end-to-end process ensures your decommissioning project is handled safely, efficiently, and fully compliant with industry standards.
We support clients across Irvine, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, the Bay Area, and Silicon Valley.
What We Do
We provide secure, end-to-end data center decommissioning designed to protect your data, simplify your logistics, and ensure full compliance. From inventory and shutdown to transport, destruction, and recycling, we handle every step with precision, security, and transparency — so your organization stays protected from risk while your project stays on schedule.
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
-
1. Asset Discovery & Inventory Audit
We identify, document, and audit all equipment — servers, storage arrays, network devices, cables, and ancillary infrastructure — so nothing is overlooked.
-
2. Secure Shutdown & Equipment Removal
Our trained technicians de-rack, disconnect, and safely remove equipment while minimizing operational risk and maintaining strict security controls.
-
3. Packing & Custody-Verified Transport
All assets are securely packed and transported using sealed, tracked, and verified logistics to ensure complete accountability during transfer.
-
4. Serial-Number Tracking & Audit Reporting
Each device is logged and audited with serial numbers for compliance and documentation requirements.
-
5. Data Sanitization / Destruction (NIST 800-88)
We permanently eliminate data through certified wiping or physical destruction, ensuring no data is ever recoverable.
-
6. Hardware Recycling / Responsible Disposal
End-of-life equipment is processed through environmentally responsible, certified recycling channels — in full alignment with state and federal regulations.
-
7. Certificates & Final Documentation
You receive Certificates of Destruction, Certificates of Recycling, and full audit documentation for your internal records, compliance needs, and risk management.
Data Center Decommissioning Questions, Answered
What to expect from a structured, end-to-end data center decommissioning partner.
-
Data center decommissioning is the structured process of safely shutting down, removing, and disposing of data center infrastructure. It includes asset removal, secure data destruction, equipment reuse or recycling, and full documentation to ensure security, compliance, and environmental responsibility.
-
We support a wide range of projects, including full data center shutdowns, partial decommissions, hardware refreshes, consolidations, and multi-site transitions. Our services scale from individual racks to entire facilities.
-
We handle most data center infrastructure, including:
- Servers and storage platforms
- Networking equipment and cabling
-Racks, cabinets, and enclosures
- Hard drives, SSDs, and other data-bearing devices
- GPUs, accelerators, and specialty hardware
- UPS systems, batteries, and backup power equipment
-
All data-bearing assets are identified, tracked, and processed using NIST-aligned data destruction methods. Depending on your requirements, data is securely wiped or physically destroyed, with documented chain of custody from removal through final disposition.
-
Yes. We coordinate secure pickups from live data centers, colocation facilities, offices, and other locations. Our team plans each project to minimize disruption and maintain strict security controls throughout the process.
-
Yes. When appropriate, we evaluate equipment for reuse or remarketing to recover value. Assets that are not suitable for reuse are responsibly recycled in compliance with environmental regulations.
-
Absolutely. Our processes are designed to support applicable data protection, environmental, and downstream recycling regulations. We provide transparent documentation to help organizations reduce regulatory and audit risk.
-
We provide detailed reporting, including asset inventories, Certificates of Data Destruction, and recycling documentation. These reports support audits, internal controls, and ESG or sustainability reporting.
-
Yes. We regularly manage large-scale and multi-site decommissioning projects. Our team plans logistics in advance to ensure consistent execution across locations.
-
Tell us about your data center environment, timeline, and security requirements. We’ll design a secure, compliant decommissioning plan tailored to your organization.
-
Once the scope is defined and the proposal is signed, we can typically start within 7 to 10 business days. Urgent engagements may begin sooner, depending on availability and alignment.
