Data centers are a central focus of any organization, as they hold significant amounts of enterprise and employee data. Much time and effort goes into maintaining data centers and ensuring data is protected at all times, and decommissioning or even relocation can become a headache. Disassembly alone can be time-consuming, and getting data centers from one place to another with no data leaks can also be costly. Enterprises can save time and budget funds by partnering with an ITAD provider for IT asset management for end-of-life IT assets, which also offers data center solutions.
Data Center Services with an ITAD Provider
The world is becoming increasingly digital, which means data security should be a primary concern for every business, and having a disposition plan in place can help prevent risks of data leaks even after assets are retired. IT asset disposition providers like HOBI offer data destruction and security services throughout the disposition process. 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. ITAD service providers offer data erasure in addition to data security services, ensuring that no data breaches occur throughout the disposition process.
Often, companies relocate their data centers, which can become a headache without trained professionals. ITAD providers offer data center relocation services, including decommissioning and reverse logistics, to ensure your assets arrive safely from point A to point B. ITAD providers alleviate the burden for enterprises and ensure data centers are dismantled in an environmentally responsible manner. ITAD providers also prioritize value recovery during the disposition process for still-useful equipment.
Asset management and remarketing play a significant role in protecting the environment from electronic waste. When data centers are retired, not all are at the end of their useful life cycle, and some can be wiped and remarketed for value maximization. Remarketing retired assets increases asset value, supports a circular economy, 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.
