The growth of the data center industry in the United States has created new opportunities for companies that can help with data center relocations. OceanTech is a company that handles data center relocation across the country and around the world.
OceanTech is an electronics recycling company in Minnesota, but through the years the company has built partnerships with logistics and security companies nationwide, as well as built confidence in their services with more than 1500 customers. That has led to demand for OceanTech to manage data center relocations throughout the United States.
OceanTech’s teams include tech and logistics experts, and the company will de-install equipment, transport it to the new location, and reinstall it, all the while maintaining the security and integrity of the equipment and the data.
In addition, as an electronics recycling company, OceanTech purchases retired or decommissioned hardware and servers, and often pays as much as three times more than any other offer. OceanTech attributes its ability to pay more for retired assets to its tremendous downstream sales channels that make valuable equipment available for reuse.
“Recycling electronics can be a big part of a data center relocations. Our company handles the data destruction through secure data sanitization or hard drive or media shredding, and we also test, repair, and refurbish for resale. Companies upgrade to new equipment and receive a little money for their old equipment, and that helps take the sting out of the new equipment costs,” Sumetsky says.
Recycling electronics during a data center relocation is just part of the service. OceanTech is most noted for its skillful de-installation of data centers and the relocation of equipment that can help make a data center relocation a seamless and pain-free process.

Effective ITAD strategies for Data Centers
In the ever-evolving landscape of data management, businesses frequently encounter the need to retire their data center hardware. Such scenarios often arise when companies decide to shut down all or part of a data center operation. The process of decommissioning a data center is riddled with logistical intricacies, and among these, planning for the disposition of retired assets stands out as a crucial aspect. The dismantling of data center equipment without a well-thought-out strategy for reuse, remarketing, or secure disposal can lead to a host of problems.
