Full-Scale Decommissioning

Data Center Decommissioning

A data center decommission means hundreds or thousands of assets, server racks, storage arrays, networking core switches, moving against a hard migration deadline. eWaste Solutions manages complete decommissioning from pre-project planning through final documentation, built for scale.

R2v3 RIOS / NIST 800-88
Why Scale Changes Everything

A single-rack pickup and a full closure aren't the same job.

Decommissioning a full data center isn't a bigger version of a standard IT pickup, it's a fundamentally different logistics problem. Asset tagging has to happen before anything is disconnected. Drives across dozens or hundreds of servers and storage arrays each need individual destruction documentation. And the entire project usually has to happen against a fixed deadline, a lease expiration, a migration cutover, or a facility closure. eWaste Solutions plans decommissions the way they need to be planned: pre-project inventory, a coordinated pickup and destruction schedule, and one final documentation package covering everything.
