    What exactly is data center decommissioning?

    Data center decommissioning is a process to retire the old infrastructure in the data center and send the equipment for recycling or disposal to make space for the new assets. A proper project plan related to decommissioning is sent to data centers to notify the whole staff to remove hardware while managing risks. The planning includes decommissioning procedure and the time it takes for data backups.

    How is data center decommissioning important for organizations?

    Acts as Defence Against Security Threats

    When the data center expands, you also need to remove obsolete hardware, since it increases security threats. Upgrading to the latest equipment with security features and updates defends against threats.

     

    No Maintenance Costs of Old Equipment Incurred

    There will be minimal maintenance required for new equipment and these also consume less power. You do not have to spend money on maintaining old equipment anymore.

     

    Improvement in Data Management Abilities

    The latest equipment with modern features will automate all tasks that were previously done manually. With better data management capabilities, you can oversee how data is managed and focus more on productive tasks.

     

    Data During Decommissioning Process Involves Data Security

    During the data center decommissioning process, there is a lot of sensitive data involved. Therefore, we embrace all applicable compliance requirements to avoid data breaches. We at ITAD.net ensure to engage only reliable people to handle data to reduce the chances of data leaks. Also, we install scanners and biometric devices in the server room to monitor everyone closely.

    Complete Data Erasure Mechanisms Included

    The data erasure mechanism will include wiping the data and shredding the hard drives in-house and getting a certificate of destruction before selling the equipment. The data is also wiped off from servers at your company. The data erasure tool which complies with the NIST standards is used to erase the data before decommissioning. The software through which erasure is done gives a tamper-proof report.

    Our ITAD.net team and various departments of your organization will follow this procedure to ensure the decommissioning process goes smoothly:

     

    Decide the Scope of the Process

    Together, we draft the plan which includes the scope, expectations, timeline, and budget. The plan also includes stakeholders involved in the whole process and a person to oversee the operations.

     

    Recognize Inventory and Map Dependencies

    Prepare an inventory list of the equipment in the data center such as servers, storage devices, printers, and routers, and map their dependencies. You can categorize what you want to sell, recycle and dispose of.

    Create the Plan to be Implemented

    Data center decommissioning is a laborious process that needs proper planning and scheduling. The planning will have roles, responsibilities, and tasks everyone must perform.

     

    Make Provision for Tools Required

    We list down the tools and manpower you would need to decommission your data center. Various tools you would need are hoists, forklifts, tapes, labels, bar-code readers, boxes, forklifts, and so on.

     

    Remove Equipment and Destruct Data

    Before the decommissioning process, back up the data and get sign-off for this process from all. We can remove equipment and shred or burn the devices. The destruction method depends on the data the devices hold.

     

    Pack the Listed Assets

    After erasing the data, we need to label the equipment. Maintain the checklist with the IT equipment name and disposal method followed. Labeling helps in identifying equipment easily.

     

    Coordinate the Disposal and Recovery of Equipment

    You have to maintain coordination between the IT team, project team, and other teams to ensure everything is packaged properly. Prepare a report to write what must be disposed of and recycled.
