Data centers have become the go-to solution for securely storing sensitive information in today’s digital landscape. Digital storage minimizes the need for physical file cabinets and promotes paper conservation. However, managing stored data can still be complex. IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers like HOBI offer a modern, all-in-one approach to meet various data center needs. HOBI’s services include relocation, decommissioning, onsite data erasure, tailored reverse logistics, asset management, and remarketing, ensuring a comprehensive and efficient data management experience.
Data Destruction & Security
Data centers are the central hub for enterprise and employee data, often making them targets for data theft. Protecting data centers from hackers is critical, even during disposition. vITAD providers like HOBI offer a myriad of data center services, including data destruction. Many assume that a quick reset will suffice when retiring IT assets. However, a device reset does not erase data from hardware, and leaving data on data centers during disposition makes them vulnerable to hackers. vITAD service providers offer data erasure in addition to data security services, ensuring that no data breaches occur throughout the disposition process. HOBI uses an internally developed data erasure tool, HOBI Shield, that completely erases data from a device.
Repair & Remarketing
Like all other IT equipment, data centers can be repaired and remarketed for value maximization. ITAD providers offer repair and refurbishment services and remarketing opportunities for assets in working order. Remarketing retired assets increases asset value and helps provide IT equipment to those seeking to save money or those without access. HOBI leverages its extensive network and market expertise to give remarketing asset services and repair and refurbishment services. Asset remarketing also helps contribute to a circular economy by reusing assets rather than throwing them away.
Relocation with Reverse Logistics
Data centers are complex systems, and decommissioning can be tedious without trained professionals. Relocation can be just as stressful as trying to transport a data center to a new location safely and securely. ITAD providers offer decommissioning, relocation, and reverse logistics. An ITAD partner alleviates the burden for enterprises and ensures data centers are dismantled in an environmentally responsible manner.
HOBI is an R2v3, RIOS, WBE, and ISO 14001 certified IT asset management and disposition provider with over 30 years of experience in the industry. We prioritize value maximization and environmental protection throughout the process and focus on fostering client relationships.
