Datacenter Decommissioning

Thorough. Efficient. Secure. Compliant

When datacenters need shut down, this critical work needs to be done thoroughly, efficiently, securely, and compliantly.

Too often, this work gets moved to the bottom of the priority list, and this valuable equipment – filled with vital data – is treated like used furniture.

Data Security is Nonnegotiable.

At TechR2, we understand and prioritize the importance of protecting the data that resides on your datacenter drives – intellectual property, client information, financial records, confidential communications, and more.

To ensure data security and total compliance, we follow the most thorough protocols and processes.

ONSITE INVENTORY

Capturing and tracking serial numbers and quantities of all equipment through the entire process.

ONSITE DATA ERADICATION

Either physically destroying drives by shredding them to 2-mm particles or degaussing them to NIST and NSA standards.

IMELY DETAILED VERIFICATION

Providing device-level confirmation of data eradication through Certificates of Destruction, Certificates of Sanitization, and our customizable customer portal.

SECURE TRANSPORT

We ensure all data-bearing devices intended for redeployment are protected throughout delivery to their new destination.

Decommissioning Includes Everything.

When our team decommissions a datacenter, we handle the entire process.

Features

Efficiency Saves Millions

While data security is always our priority, we also understand the monetary value of being quick about it.

Clients have reported saving millions in rent, utilities, taxes, and interest because our processes and teams can completely decommission a datacenter in weeks, instead of months.
