What defines a modern data center?
Modern data centers are very different than they were just a short time ago. In this era, data exists and is connected across multiple data centers, the edge, public and private clouds.

Looming ITAD black swan
While a Black Swan is a surprise at the time it occurs, with the benefit of hindsight, experts usually conclude the event “was bound to happen.”

The importance of managed IT infrastructure
A managed IT infrastructure is the process of managing the components of a company’s information technology. Having appropriate methods in place for the management of the IT infrastructure allows for improved availability and quick solutions for various issues that could arise.
Data Sanitation and Sustainability
ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) providers can dispose of practically any and all of used electronic hardware, including mobile phones, tablets, and laptops. They can also help your company to devise a big picture strategy for disposing of, and tracking, all the equipment involved in running your enterprise.
Is your company making any changes?
Investing in newer technology means investing in your business – you don’t want to lag behind your competitors with your outdated equipment. But your old equipment doesn’t have to become e-waste because we will recycle it for you efficiently and in an environmentally responsible way.

How ITAD Reduces Costs
Large technology companies operate data centers at a scale that’s difficult to imagine, even for those in the industry. New IT assets are what keep these organizations running. On top of the constant need for the latest, cutting-edge hardware, IT leaders in these organizations are keenly aware of the sensitive personal data that will be stored on those assets.
Why ITAD. The legal case
No two companies are exactly alike, so no two companies will have the same motivations to work with an ITAD provider. However, most companies fall into three primary categories: Legal, Ethical/Social, and Economics.
Today we’ll cover the legal reasons for ITAD; the laws that govern privacy and the penalties that follow if you don’t follow them. Most of them will cover data privacy, but there are also environmental laws you should consider.
