Data centers are a crucial part of any enterprise due to the amount of data they store. Data centers store not only enterprise information, but private employee data as well. For this reason, data security is critical in keeping your data safe and preventing any breaches.
IT asset disposition facilities like HOBI often offer data center services such as cloud transitioning, decommissioning, colocation and reverse logistics. ITAD providers relieve the headache of asset disposition and ensure clients’ IT hardware is taken care of.
Because data centers are one of the most important and expensive pieces of technology an enterprise can own, there are a few things to consider when searching for an ITAD provider for data center services.
First and foremost is security. Data centers store sensitive information that could affect a company’s reputation if leaked, which is why in order to keep data safe and secure, the data center itself should also be secure. Some enterprises implement extra safety measures such as security cameras, or locked cages to store equipment. Second, operational efficiency plays a huge role in how long your data center equipment is sitting before it is processed. A strong facility infrastructure creates a smooth process and contributes to reducing the risk of data breaches.
Compliance plays a major role in an enterprise’s trustworthiness. Practicing full legislative compliance provides a level of transparency to clients and peace of mind that they have made the right decision. It’s always smart to be aware of a facility’s certifications and how often they update those certifications. If an enterprise prioritizes following rules and procedures set in place, it is more likely they will take care of your IT assets.
Finding an ITAD provider that follows legislative requirements, has a spotless compliance record, and keeps their data centers secure are key criteria for an ITAD partnership.
