Network equipment is employed by numerous companies in order to create a computing web that is functional, reliable, and integrated throughout their organization. However, these devices become obsolete constantly as new products are brought to the market, requiring them to be disposed of in a proper manner. When that happens there are two major concerns that need to be dealt with: the destruction of all sensitive data that may be contained in hard drives and memory devices, as well as proper environmentally friendly methods for disposal.
Data Destruction for Network Equipment
The destruction of data is particularly important to companies and institutions, as sensitive and private material may be contained on network equipment, which could cause harm if it fell into the wrong hands. That is why a quality,
R2 certified recycling company such as OceanTech is so important. Their job is recycling of electronic devices, and they have all of the tools, skills, and experience necessary to completely wipe out any lingering data that may exist in devices.Many people think that simply erasing the memory of a computer or networking device is sufficient to eliminate all information from their drives. However, there are often lingering tell-tale signs of this data, which can be accessed by nefarious parties in order to leverage it against competitors, or for use in casing damage to an entity or person. OceanTech is the best bet for completely destroying all traces of that info, removing it forever so that the component pieces can be reused for new applications without threat to the previous owners.Devices known as switches are often used to connect multiple computers together in order to form a networking system. With this equipment, it is also important to completely eliminate any traces of data that may have passed back and forth between different machines.The other major concern is the proper recycling of electronic devices and networking components. These often contain materials that do not biodegrade in landfills, and will remain as intransigent space claimers for thousands of years. They also often contain chemicals that can penetrate the soil around where they are dumped, infecting the environment with harmful, toxic substances.OceanTech can help to reduce these problems by using R2 certified recycling processes, and will eliminate all information that may be lingering prior to resale. Due to their extensive network of buyers, they are often able to reimburse 2-3 times more for your resell-able equipment.Whether you own your own network equipment, or are leasing it, OceanTech can help to eliminate the problems associated with disposal of old equipment when new innovations arrive. They are skilled at working on a variety of applications including servers, switches, and devices sourced from Cisco, Netgear, HP, and more. Whatever electronic device needs to be replaced, they know how to handle it in a safe, secure, and ecologically friendly manner.
