Overview
Moving to the cloud, consolidating sites or upgrading infrastructure all end the same way: a room full of servers, storage, racks and cabling that must leave safely. Data centre decommissioning needs careful planning so that no data, asset or deadline slips through.
Ecofusion plans the decommission with your IT team, tags and records every asset, destroys data on all storage media, recovers value from reusable hardware and recycles the rest at our authorised facility.

Planning a decommission
Start with an accurate inventory and confirm data backups and migration are complete before any equipment is powered down. Agree which drives will be wiped and which shredded, and whether destruction must happen on-site.
We recommend sharing floor access rules, lift sizes and working-hour restrictions during the survey so the removal plan fits your building.
