Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the difference between data center disposal and data center decommisioning?

    Decommissioning is the full process of retiring data center infrastructure, from planning and inventory to data wiping, removal and reporting.

    Disposal is one part of that process: the recycling or final processing of the hardware.

  • What is data center decommisioning?

    Data center decommissioning is the overall process of planning, executing and managing the retirement of data center assets in a safe, secure and environmentally responsible way.

    It typically includes the following steps: inventory audit, data sanitisation, asset removal, asset recovery and recycling and reporting.

  • What happens to the data on my IT equipment when I sell it to you?

    We permanently remove all data before any processing begins. Using certified wiping tools such as Blancco, we ensure your data cannot be recovered, and you receive an official erasure certificate for every device.

    For highly sensitive information, physical destruction of the storage media is also possible. All handling, transport and storage take place within our secure logistics chain, fully compliant with GDPR and other regulations, giving you complete peace of mind.

  • Can you perform data wiping on‑site?

    Yes. We offer on‑site data wiping and on‑site physical destruction for organisations with strict compliance or security requirements.

  • What types of equipment can you decommission?

    We handle a wide range of data center hardware, including servers, storage systems, networking equipment, racks, UPS units, cabling and standalone data carriers.

    We can support both small and large‑scale decommissioning projects, depending on your infrastructure and requirements.

  • How long does a decommissioning project take?

    Timelines depend on the size of your data center, the number of assets and the services required. Smaller projects may take a few days; larger ones can span several weeks. You’ll always receive a clear schedule upfront.
