Data centers are one of the most important aspects of a business. As the central hub for information storage, data centers are essential to any organization, and asset retirement can become a headache. Responsible IT asset disposition is becoming increasingly important as the e-waste crisis grows, and finding an ITAD provider with data center solution services will ensure no e-waste is discarded improperly. It will also provide data security and value maximization for retired data centers.
Secure Data Destruction for Retired Assets
Because of the exponential amounts of data they store, data centers are a prime target for cybersecurity breaches, and data security is just as crucial during disposition as it is during asset use. IT asset disposition facilities like HOBI provide asset management services, including data destruction, ensuring no data leaks occur even after IT assets are retired. Data remains on IT equipment once properly sanitized, leaving enterprise data vulnerable to theft. With data erasure, all enterprise and employee information is wiped before assets are processed. HOBI uses an internally developed data erasure tool, the HOBI Shield, that completely erases all data from a device before it is recycled.
Decommission & Logistics
Data center decommissioning is a tedious process that can be overwhelming. Because of this, many businesses often put off responsible asset disposition, but ITAD providers offer a range of data center solutions, including on-site data center decommissioning and relocation services. HOBI provides value-added services like customized reverse logistics services to help ease the burden of transportation during relocation. The HOBI team handles everything from initial assessment to the final disposition, prioritizing data security and value recovery at every step.
Maximize Asset Value After Disposition
HOBI also offers IT asset management services like repair and asset redeployment to help maximize the value of retired assets, including data centers. Many people are searching for cost-effective alternatives to brand-new equipment, and remarketing IT assets not only helps bridge the digital divide by providing electronics to those without access but also prevents hazardous material from entering the waste stream. This helps prevent e-waste from being sent to landfills and incinerators and further polluting the environment.
HOBI understands that every data center has unique challenges and requirements, and we offer customized solutions designed to meet clients’ specific needs. The HOBI team works closely with you to develop a strategy that aligns with your business objectives, budget, and timeline.
