The lifecycle of data centers is often short and upgrades are frequent. This leaves IT managers and systems engineers with the complex task of data center decommissioning as well as securely disposing of assets regularly. Data center decommissioning and server decommissioning require experience and planning to provide effective data security.
Upgrading IT equipment, whether, for a data center, an end-user or to support your overall IT infrastructure is disrupting; under the best of circumstances. Getting new equipment set up, whilst systematically removing retired equipment, needs to be done with minimal disruption to the clients’ live production environment.
eScrap Canada has clients with multiple locations within Canada and the United States. We have provided data center decommissioning services to multiple Data Centers across the country and processed more than 100,000 assets over the past 4 years. A large portion of these assets was a result of server decommissioning. Our track record with on-site data center decommissioning is perfect and worthy of your time.
eScrap Canada manages the entire process from Planning, Decommissioning, and Responsible Disposal helping our customers plan & execute the decommissioning, without any impact on their IT services or working environment.

Decommissioning equipment is the process of shutting down servers, networking and other IT equipment, in preparation for removal of the equipment. Generally, equipment is stored in racks in a designated cage. Decommissioning is required in order to replace or dispose of the hardware.
We provide a detailed list of all the assets that are decommissioned. We develop and follow a plan to remove and destroy hard drives, and Inventory reconciliation with asset list (servers and hard drives). If you have specific tracking requirements, let us know via email so we can follow your request.
We provide on-site data destruction services that can be incorporated into the decommissioning process. We also offer a locked bin option for HDDs, which is used to transport to our processing facility to witness in person or video recorded destruction.
Staged decommissioning of data center IT assets, storage devices and server racks is the process of removing hard drives, servers, server racks and packing equipment for shipping and final processing. Completing each component, piece by piece.
It is recommended to match the services you require to the shortlisted vendors… then speak directly with a project manager to understand the work flow and processes – this is also known as the decommissioning checklist. If there are still multiple vendors to choose from, then pricing and additional, complimentary services should be the final factor in your decision.
