Home 9 Blog 9 Data Center Refresh

It’s no secret that a data center refresh can cost a lot of money. New hardware is expensive, the process can be labor-intensive, and the entire project can take up a lot of time. Disposing of high-end IT assets that are part of a data center refresh, or server consolidation project, require several levels of planning including:

1. Security of the data
2. Use/Reuse or Resale of the retired hardware
3. Finding a company to help you do all of the above.

At OceanTech, an R2 certified company, we ensure that every data containing device receives compliant data destruction along with a Certificate of Destruction. And, because our focus is on eliminating sensitive data, recycling hardware, and reselling it, we are able to pay you more for any retired hardware that still holds value.  Many companies that claim to be in the electronics recycling business are really in the scrap business. We believe a focus on the re-use of equipment makes sense for both our environment and the health of businesses.

No matter where your company is located, OceanTech has a certified logistics partner ready to provide secure transportation from your facility to ours.  To learn how OceanTech can help you with your next Data Center Refresh.
