When data centers upgrade equipment or expand their footprint, the massive project of decommissioning servers that are no longer needed can take its toll on over-taxed IT staffs. That’s why many Los Angeles businesses look to the experts at OceanTech to help with their data center deinstallations and reinstallations.OceanTech works with more than 1500 of the nation’s largest businesses to recycle electronics they no longer need, including data center equipment that is being decommissioned and replaced or upgraded.In addition to decommissioning data center equipment, OceanTech provides secure data destruction, refurbishes the equipment, repairs it if required, and then resells it to a downstream market of ready buyers.While this type of activity can certainly be handled by in-house experts, it’s not something they do often, which can lead to unforeseen problems. When OceanTech works with Los Angeles companies on decommissioning data center equipment, they are using expertise they have gained over many years of performing this service for companies from coast-to-coast.Secure data destruction is a major concern, and when data center equipment is decommissioned, OceanTech uses the industry’s best and most effective procedures for ensuring that all data residing on the servers is digitally erased. The company documents the procedure for each machine and provides documentation that serves auditing and compliance needs.Decommissioning a large data center or an in-house server room is a critically important process, which is why it pays to use experts for the task. It also pays because OceanTech purchases used data center equipment, often for two to three times more than anyone else in the business.OceanTech recycles electronics in the most responsible way – recycling for resale. Value recovery is important, and receiving payment for older equipment helps to defray the huge costs of purchasing new equipment. When you add in the value of ensuring that data is destroyed, you really can’t beat the services of OceanTech.If your Los Angeles data center is upgrading, moving, expanding or otherwise in need of assistance with data center logistics and equipment recycling, contact OceanTech at 612 331 4456.
