Explore the essential phases of our professional data center decommissioning process:

End-to-End Documentation & Final Reporting

Transparency is embedded at every step. We provide detailed final reports including:
• Asset recovery documentation
• Data destruction certificates
• E-waste and recycling certificates
• Project closure reports using MNC’s industry-leading reporting templates.
All deliverables are audit-ready and fully aligned with industry and regulatory requirements, giving you peace of mind and a verifiable compliance trail.

Strategic Project Planning

Every successful decommissioning begins with a detailed roadmap. Our experts collaborate with your team to develop a customized project plan that outlines clear deliverables, timelines, required resources, and secure transportation logistics. On-site assessments and risk analyses are conducted in advance to ensure operational continuity and site safety.

Comprehensive Asset Inventory & Audit

A full inventory is created to document all physical and virtual assets within the data center, such as servers, racks, storage media, and cabling. Our asset tagging and chain-of-custody protocols ensure complete traceability. For virtual environments, we work closely with your on-site lead to capture cloud and VM-related data mappings.

Controlled Equipment & Power Shutdown

We execute a methodical shutdown of all IT and facility infrastructure—including servers, UPS systems, networking equipment, and storage arrays—adhering strictly to OEM protocols. This prevents data loss, protects hardware integrity, and maintains environmental control during transition.

04. Secure Equipment Removal & Responsible Disposal

All hardware is safely disconnected and removed with minimal disruption to surrounding systems. Devices are reused, remarketed, or responsibly recycled based on your sustainability goals and compliance requirements. All procedures follow e-Stewards , R2v3, and local environmental regulations.
