vITAD: A One-Stop Solution for Data Center Services
A cornerstone of a successful business is built on information. In the digital age, data centers are the primary storage method for exponential amounts of data, making them one of the most important components of an enterprise. Data centers are the central hub for all enterprise and employee data, and decommissioning can be tedious. There are many things to consider when retiring equipment, such as data centers, data security, secure transport if relocation is needed, and a disposition method that won’t harm the environment. ITAD providers are a one stop solution for all data center needs, with services like data destruction to mitigate data leaks, decommissioning, relocation, reverse logistics, and electronics recycling.
ITAD Includes Mobile Asset Management Services
Mobile assets dominate the business world as the most commonly used form of electronics. According to statistics, the number of mobile devices operating worldwide stood at almost 15 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach 18.22 billion by 2025. Turnaround rates for new devices have reached an all-time high, and keeping up with changing technology can be stressful as new models are released annually. Many devices are upgraded before reaching the end of their useful life cycle, resulting in hundreds of thousands of wasted devices due to premature disposition. IT asset disposition covers more than just disposing of old IT equipment. ITAD providers also offer mobile asset management services that maximize the value of retired mobile IT assets like phones, laptops, tablets, monitors, printers, and more. Partnering with an ITAD provider offers a chance to responsibly and dispose of retired IT assets and support the circular economy through reuse.
