Frequently Asked Questions
Data centre decommissioning is the process of shutting down and removing all IT assets, including servers, racks, and other data centre equipment. This process involves securely erasing data from hard drives, proper disposition of hardware, and ensuring compliance with environmental and security regulations. It also requires inventory management, documentation, and the responsible recycling or disposal of equipment. By properly decommissioning a data centre, businesses can mitigate risks, protect sensitive information, and meet compliance requirements.
