Data Destruction Case Study

Returning Value to Data Centers

CHALLENGE

Four data center locations across the US needed to be decommissioned, including asset de-racking and removal, and on-site storage shredding for approximately 10,000 assets and over 8,000 drives.

SOLUTION

CTL's ITAD team facilitated secure NAID-AAA certified shredding of all solid state and mechanical storage onsite, including serial number capture. Assets were securely transported back to CTL's facility for audit, discovery, and factory configuration resets. In addition to fulfilling the project under timeline requirements, a revenue share of over $525,000 of value for the resalable assets was delivered back to the client. This resulted in a large net positive return for the client, along with certified data destruction and R2v3 recycling of any unsalable assets and electronic waste.
