Data Center Decommissioning Through CentricsIT
Comprehensive Project Management
Data center decommissioning is a complex task that requires strategic planning and coordination. CentricsIT provides end-to-end project management, handling everything from the initial audit to asset recovery and final reporting. Our experts work closely with your team to develop a tailored decommissioning strategy that minimizes downtime and ensures a seamless transition.
Certified Data Destruction
One of the most critical components of any data center decommissioning project is ensuring that sensitive data is irrecoverably destroyed. CentricsIT offers both on-site and off-site data destruction services, using certified methods such as hard drive shredding, degaussing, and secure erasure. All processes comply with regulatory standards like HIPAA, FACTA and GDPR, and each piece of equipment processed is issued a certificate of destruction or data destruction, providing you with peace of mind that your data is fully protected.
Maximizing Asset Recovery
At CentricsIT, our IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) services help to recover the maximum value from your retired hardware. We evaluate your equipment for resale opportunities in the secondary market, ensuring you get the highest possible return on investment. Whether it’s servers, storage devices or networking equipment, our global resale network enables us to offer competitive buyback options.
Environmentally Responsible Disposal
Sustainability is at the core of our decommissioning services. CentricsIT is R2v3 certified and ensures that all decommissioned assets are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. We adhere to strict e-waste recycling standards and ensure that your decommissioned assets are either repurposed or recycled responsibly.

Our Data Center Decommissioning Process
Decommissioning and Removal
Our team handles the physical decommissioning, including disconnecting, packing and removing all hardware from your data center. We ensure that all assets are tracked and handled according to best practices, ensuring a smooth removal process.
Data Destruction
To safeguard your sensitive information, we offer a variety of data destruction options, including on-site destruction or certified removal to an off-site facility. All data destruction is documented, and certificates of destruction are provided to ensure compliance.
Asset Evaluation and Recovery
After removal, we assess the value of your decommissioned assets. Our global resale network helps you recover the maximum financial value from your IT equipment, either through resale, repurposing or recycling.
Environmentally Responsible Disposal
If assets are no longer viable for resale or reuse, we ensure they are disposed of responsibly. Our e-waste recycling services meet the highest environmental standards, ensuring that your decommissioned hardware has minimal impact on the planet.
Final Reporting and Compliance
Throughout the decommissioning process, CentricsIT provides detailed reporting on every asset, including certificates of destruction. These documents can be found in real time on our ITAD portal, CentricsIQ. Our commitment to transparency and reporting ensures that your project meets all regulatory requirements.
