How data center decommissioning works

From your building to the certificate, in five steps

Every Phoenix project follows the same documented path, whether it is a dozen laptops or a full server room.

  1. Scope and inventory

    The equipment list and how each device's data will be destroyed are agreed before takedown starts.

  2. Takedown and removal

    Our team dismantles racks, servers, networking gear and storage arrays, with careful handling to prevent damage.

  3. Packing and transport

    Equipment is packaged and palletized for trackable transport under a documented chain of custody. GPS-tracked transport is available.

  4. Data destruction

    Drives are shredded or crushed on-site, witnessed on request, or destroyed or wiped at our facility after transport.

  5. Resale, recycling and audit trail

    Reusable equipment can be resold, the rest is recycled through our R2v3-certified process, and every project closes with a Certificate of Destruction and audit trail.
