Who Do I Hire For Data Center Decommisons?

Decommissioning a data center is a comprehensive task that involves shutting down servers, dismantling equipment, and ensuring thorough data destruction to prevent security breaches and comply with regulations. Here are key considerations to keep in mind as you plan your decommissioning process:

Onsite vs Offsite Data Destruction

Determining whether to opt for onsite or offsite data destruction depends on various factors, including security requirements and logistical considerations. Some organizations may prefer onsite destruction to witness the process firsthand, while others may find offsite destruction more convenient.

Required Certificates and Documentation

Compliance standards often require specific certificates and documentation, such as the Certificate of Data Destruction (CODD). Ensure that your chosen service provider can furnish the necessary paperwork to meet regulatory requirements and provide assurance of secure data destruction.

Data Server De-installation Process

A successful de-installation process involves skilled technicians who can safely disassemble equipment, transport heavy cabinets and racks, and package delicate components for transportation. Consider the timing of the de-installation, as some organizations may require off-hours operations to minimize disruption.

Security Protocols for Premises Entry

Establish clear protocols for service provider entry into your facility to safeguard against unauthorized access. This may include pre-verification of personnel, adherence to visitor policies, and documentation of identification to maintain the integrity of the premises.

Physical Layout Considerations

Assess the physical layout of your data center and communicate any unique challenges or requirements to the service provider. This includes considerations such as floor protection, freight elevator access, and the use of specialized equipment to navigate obstacles.
