Data Center Decommissioning
Data Center Decommissioning
Decommissioning of data center hardware, telecom infrastructure, and specialized industrial electronics.
How It Works
Turnkey Execution
- 01
Assessment
Send us your equipment spreadsheet, or let our experienced asset consultants conduct an on-site audit of your facility.
- 02
Logistics & Facility Access Planning
Review facility layout, security checkpoints, and loading dock specifications.
- 03
Execution & Handoff
Finalize signed paperwork and lock in exact dates/times for the logistics team.
- 04
Turnkey Logistics & Professional Extraction
We handle professional de-installation, heavy rigging, and secure transport from your facility.
- 05
Sorting & grading
Every asset evaluated for resale, refurbishment, or recycling.
- 06
Post-Processing Reconciliation
Once assets arrive at your facility, complete testing, grading, data wiping, and generate audit logs.
Logistics & Facility Access Planning
On-site facility auditing and inventory cataloging.
- Site Walkthrough / Virtual Audit
- Review facility layout, security checkpoints, and loading dock specifications.
- Verify Logistics Constraints
- Freight elevator dimensions and weight capacities.
- Security & Compliance Protocols
- Obtain visitor badge requirements, background check clearances, or escort procedures for your logistics crew.
- Specialized Equipment Needs
- Determine if heavy rigging equipment, pallet jacks, specialized crates, or dollies are required (especially critical for lab instruments or server racks).
- Field Operations Briefing
- Brief your technicians and logistics crew on site-specific hazards, packing requirements, and chain-of-custody protocols.
Reporting
Auditable Chain of Custody
Serial-number tracking from your loading dock to final disposition.
- 01
Obtain the client’s inventory list (including asset types, make/model, serial numbers, and approximate age/condition).
- 02
Sanitization or physical destruction, documented per asset.
- 03
Note if the client requires specific ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) impact reports or custom audit log formats.
TALC coordinates project-defined services. Scope, shutdown authority, active-system protection, on-site exceptions, remaining site condition, provider responsibilities, documentation, and any resale require your approval.
Requirements
- Enterprise IT
- Servers, switches, laptops, desktops, mobile devices.
- Scope Serialization
- Ensure every data-bearing device (hard drives, SSDs, servers) is slated for serial-number tracking.
- Specialized Equipment Needs
- Determine if heavy rigging equipment, pallet jacks, specialized crates, or dollies are required (especially critical for lab instruments or server racks).
- End-of-Life E-Waste
- Obsolete or broken hardware requiring recycling.
- Data Security & Compliance Requirements
- Confirm the required data destruction standard (e.g., NIST 800-88 software wiping vs. physical shredding).
