The cloud and the explosion of full-service data centers have eliminated the need for many Silicon Valley businesses to maintain their own server rooms. The trend toward outsourcing data center services puts the task of de-installing an internal server room at the top of the list for many companies.The issue of what to do with used servers and surplus IT hardware that is no longer needed but that certainly still has value has perplexed many IT directors and corporate CFOs, but one company has an answer with their server room de-installation protocols.OceanTech is a Minneapolis electronics recycling company that handles de-installations of expensive IT equipment for companies from coast to coast.In the Silicon Valley, where everything moves quickly, a server room de-installation company is worth its weight in gold. Rather than unplugging machines and simply piling them up in a closet or warehouse to “deal with later,” companies can deal with the data security issues and the sunk costs by working with OceanTech.OceanTech pays more for surplus IT hardware, including expensive data center servers and networking equipment, than just about anyone else in the electronics recycling business. They are able to pay higher prices for the equipment because they are recycling for reuse, securely destroying the data that companies worry about before selling the hardware on one of their many online marketplaces.Expertise in server room de-installation has been built over many years of experience, and OceanTech has one of the best teams in the industry, well-versed in server room set-up, and ready to de-install for recycling or for a move to a new facility or larger space.The team from OceanTech frees up current staff members from the duties of de-installation, and because OceanTech manages these projects for hundreds of companies every year, they know how to customize a company’s de-installation to fit their specific needs.Experts at OceanTech say they focus on all the technical and logistics details, and even take care to monitor weather conditions to ensure that equipment is not damaged during the process.Silicon Valley businesses that are de-installing server rooms for relocation or to retire specific equipment appreciate the expertise provided by a team of professionals with experience. No job is too large or too small, and when companies have more than one location, OceanTech can handle it all, through logistics partners located around the world.If a server room deinstallation or data center deinstallation is on your work list for 2014, call OceanTech at 612 331 4456 for expert assistance and management of your Silicon Valley project.
