When it comes to replacing, reselling or removing the old IT equipment of your company, there is a range of factors you need to consider. These include your company’s sensitive data, logistical responsibilities and environmental compliance. All these need a competent strategy and specialized services. ITAD companies offer a stringent process needed for disposition of IT assets. The vendors specialize in helping you remove your unneeded and old equipment without putting the environment at risk. They also help you decrease logistical costs along the way. ITAD vendors should be able to provide you the following services:
Data center discovery
Your old IT equipment are required to be taken offline and dissociated from the corporate infrastructure. This is a technical activity and needs to be carried out effectively. ITAD companies offer networking experience, specialized contractors and machinery and detailed knowledge of data center environments and software for discovery. All these are vital for the teardown of data centers.
Data removal
Data leak can prove to be a serious threat for organizations. It is crucial that all equipment have their data wiped. The location of this can be remote or on-site and this decision is taken by inputs from your ITAD services provider.
Data security
Certain industries make the process of data erasure a bit complicated owing to their heavy regulations. A reliable ITAD company tailors your needs of data erasure to the requisite protocols for drive erasure.
