Data Center Decommissioning and Buyback

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a decommissioning project take?

A server room can take a day. A full data hall takes longer and is planned in phases. We give a timeline after the site visit.

Can data be destroyed before equipment leaves our site?

Yes. On-site erasure or shredding is available and witnessed by your team.

Will the buyback cover the cost of the work?

Often, yes. On many projects the equipment value offsets or exceeds the service cost. We show both in the proposal.
