This is an illustrative example of a typical project.
The situation
A company consolidating two data centers into one needed to retire several racks of servers, storage and networking equipment on a tight timeline, without disrupting production.
The approach
The equipment was inventoried and valued up front. Decommissioning was scheduled in phases as workloads moved, drives were wiped or destroyed according to the company's policy, and equipment was packed and transported at no cost to the client.
The result
Proceeds from resale were reinvested in new hardware for the remaining site. Equipment with no resale value was recycled responsibly, and the company received full asset reports and data destruction certificates.
