Chicago is the third largest city in the U.S., which explains why it’s a major hub for data centers in Illinois that service companies nationwide.  According to “Data Center Map,” all but five of the state’s nearly 90 colocation facilities and data centers are in Chicago, and that includes both locally grown and national players.  With more than 80 data centers in the Windy City, de-installation and decommissioning requirements for Chicago data centers are a growing business for OceanTech.Clients who have worked with us know that OceanTech takes a white glove approach to data center decommissioning and is prepared to handle the needs of data centers like Colocation America and Navisite that have multiple locations in Chicago.When equipment upgrades are required, OceanTech is the source, not only for data destruction and data center decommissioning services, but for asset recovery.  In fact, many data centers like Digital Realty are repeat customers because they want decommissioning services with no out-of-pocket expenses.  Our service model handles data center relocations, consolidations or de-installations that cost our clients nothing because we buy their used equipment.Our Chicago data center decommissioning services can scale from smaller colocation facilities to some of the biggest.  And since Chicago is actually home to one of the world’s largest data center (350 Cermak, serving the massive trading needs of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange with over a million square feet), we are geared up to be the vendor of choice for managing data center de-installation and data center decommissioning for monster-sized facilities.Other Illinois data centers in nearby Aurora, Rockford, Peoria and Bloomington have benefited from our data center decommissioning, as well.  We go where the need is, from coast-to-coast, and our technicians and staff are always professionals who work for us fulltime – nothing is outsourced.  That helps ensure that security and chain-of-custody issues surrounding your data center are professionally y documented and handled by experts who strive to exceed industry standards.With all our data center decommissioning projects in Illinois, OceanTech is prepared to handle things from start to finish.   Our logistics and technical teams take a strategic approach to managing data center de-installation in Chicago or elsewhere in the Land of Lincoln.  Find out more by contacting us today for your company’s Illinois data center project needs.
