IT directors in Minnesota are charged with big projects all the time.

It isn’t something most IT directors do regularly, so in Minnesota data center retiring services are often managed by OceanTech. There are several parts to a data center retiring projects. A plan is critical, but often the first major task after determining how your data will be managed (a new in-house data center, a colocation center, cloud services), is to figure out what to do with the hardware that you no longer need. Anyone in IT knows that servers and other data center hardware have value, but most departments are not focused on resale costs as much as the security of the data that exists on that equipment and that needs to be destroyed. If there are regulations for the business involved in the data center decommissioning, documentation can be critically important.
