Companies appreciate the documentation, certifications, and professional service that the OceanTech team can provide.“There are thousands of LTO-5 tapes that need to be destroyed or sanitized. They reside in every corporate headquarters, government agency and the school district in America. It actually can become a treasure trove for a company and a nice windfall to the IT budget if you use a company that is recycling for resale,” says Al Sumetsky, CEO of OceanTech.Sumetsky says the right time to rid your inventory of LTO-5 tapes is as soon as they are retired. Like any electronics, data center equipment, or personal computer, shelf life is short for the highest value.“It really is good business to contact a LTO-5 tape sanitization and destruction company as soon as the media has been decommissioned.

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.
