Complete Data Center Decommissioning Services
Our data center decommissioning Connecticut services include full project management from initial assessment through final certification. We handle every phase of the process so your team can focus on core business operations:
- Pre-project assessment: On-site evaluation of equipment inventory, timeline requirements, and logistics planning
- Asset inventory and tagging: Comprehensive cataloging of all servers, networking gear, storage systems, and infrastructure components
- Equipment disconnection: Safe de-racking and disconnection of power, network, and cabling systems
- Secure packaging and transport: Professional packing and GPS-tracked transportation to our Branford, CT facility
- Data destruction and certification: Certified sanitization of all storage media with full documentation
- Final reporting: Detailed project completion reports including asset disposition summaries and compliance certificates
Secure Data Destruction During Decommissioning
Data security is the top priority during any data center shutdown. High Tide performs certified data destruction on all storage devices encountered during decommissioning, following NIST 800-88 guidelines for media sanitization. Every hard drive, SSD, tape, and storage array receives proper sanitization with detailed Certificates of Destruction documenting serial numbers, destruction methods, and timestamps.
Asset Recovery and Value Maximization
Not all decommissioned equipment is end-of-life. Through our IT asset disposition program, we evaluate each asset for remarketing potential. Servers, switches, storage arrays, and other equipment that still holds market value can be refurbished and resold, generating revenue that helps offset your decommissioning costs. Equipment that has reached end-of-life enters our certified electronic recycling stream for responsible processing.
Professional Logistics and Transportation
Our experienced team manages all logistics including equipment inventory, asset tagging, professional packaging, and secure transportation. We coordinate removal schedules to minimize disruption to your operations and can work during off-hours, weekends, or in phases to accommodate your business needs. All transportation is fully insured with GPS tracking and chain-of-custody documentation at every handoff point.
Environmental Compliance
All decommissioned equipment is processed through our certified e-waste recycling programs in compliance with EPA guidelines and Connecticut DEEP regulations. We ensure zero-landfill disposition for all electronic assets while maximizing material recovery from recyclable components. Our commitment to environmental responsibility means your organization can demonstrate sustainability leadership during facility transitions.
