Decommissioning
What does IT decommissioning involve?
IT decommissioning is the planned, documented retirement of infrastructure, from an individual server cabinet to a complete data centre. The sequence matters: systems must first be migrated and dependent services relocated before hardware is dismantled, recorded and securely transported. Data erasure, valuation and recovery follow. We coordinate each stage with your IT team; migration and service readiness must be agreed before physical Server Decommissioning begins.

Frequently asked questions.
How long does a decommissioning project take?
This depends on the scope and access arrangements. Once these have been agreed, you receive a confirmed project schedule.
Where do you carry out decommissioning?
We handle decommissioning projects across Germany; assignments elsewhere in Europe by arrangement.
Can you work within our security requirements?
Yes. We follow your access and security rules and agree the process with your IT team in advance.

Then we arrange certified disposal through AWG Klövenhausen – also documented.
