A booming data center industry in Texas is leading to the demand for data center decommissioning services to help with upgrading data center equipment or moving to a data center. When you take servers offline, the data needs to be destroyed, the machine cleaned, and something needs to be done with the equipment. Since it has value, the logical thing is to sell it. Ensuring company data is not compromised through the decommissioning process is critical. OceanTech provides decommissioning services that take care of everything from inventory and valuation to data destruction and equipment recycling. The company holds the highest certifications in the industry. “Our colleagues in the data center business in Texas face objections from customers all the time who just aren’t ready to go through the process of shutting down their servers and shifting to data center storage. Businesses are often fearful of the hurdles associated with de-installation. We do it all the time, and it’s a methodical process that yields dividends. They just need help,” says Al Sumetsky, founder and CEO of OceanTech. In Texas, OceanTech is finding the welcome mat is out for their ability to work with data centers and their customers to make the process of transition easy. “Companies particularly like our equipment buy-outs. We usually can pay two to three times more than other electronics recycling companies because we are going to recycle the equipment for resale,” says Sumetsky.
