Data center shutdown
Data center decommissioning is a delicate process that requires careful planning to ensure safe disposal of technology assets, compliance with environmental standards, and protection of data from leakage. At Triple Re, we offer integrated IT Asset Management (ITAM) solutions, including equipment decommissioning, NIST 800-88 data erasure, and sustainable recycling.
Safe and efficient data center shutdown
Decommissioning a data center is more than just unplugging equipment, it is a complex process that requires careful planning to protect data and the sustainable disposal of technology assets. At Triple Re, we offer full-service equipment decommissioning, data wiping in accordance with NIST 800-88, and recycling in accordance with the highest environmental standards to ensure full compliance and protect your sensitive information.

Steps to Shutdown a Data Center with Triple RE
At Triple Re, we ensure the data center decommissioning process is conducted with the highest levels of safety and efficiency, from initial asset assessment to sustainable dismantling and recycling. We follow strict standards such as NIST 800-88 to ensure secure data erasure, and rely on specialized solutions to handle all components of the IT infrastructure, with detailed reporting at every step to ensure full compliance.
Asset and equipment valuation
We begin with a comprehensive assessment process to determine which devices can be reused or recycled according to environmental standards.
Securely erase data
We follow NIST 800-88 standards to ensure all data is irretrievably deleted from servers and storage devices.
Dismantling of equipment and devices
Our professional team disassembles servers, storage, and networking equipment without causing any damage to your facilities.
Recycling and sustainable disposal
We recycle non-reusable equipment in an environmentally friendly manner, in accordance with local and international regulations.
Integrated and secure solutions
At Triple Re, we provide integrated and customized solutions for each client, ensuring that devices are dismantled and disposed of safely, according to the highest environmental and safety standards, with detailed reports for each step.
Submitting compliance certificates
We provide detailed reports and certificates proving that the data erasure and recycling process has been completed according to established standards.
Why do you need to professionally decommission your data center?
Decommissioning a data center is more than just unplugging equipment, it is a complex process that requires careful management of data protection, safe disposal of equipment, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Proper planning helps reduce operational risks and unexpected costs, while making the most of available assets.
Asset analysis and implementation plan
The data center infrastructure is assessed and the hardware to be dismantled, reused, or recycled is determined, with a timeline in place to ensure the process runs smoothly.
Securing data before decommissioning
Before any process begins, advanced data protection protocols, such as information encryption, are applied to prevent any subsequent hacking or unauthorized retrieval.
Dismantling physical infrastructure
Servers, cooling systems, storage units, and other equipment are carefully disassembled to ensure no damage is caused to any supporting components or systems.
Safe transportation and storage management
Transport equipment to storage or recycling facilities using specialized means that protect the equipment from damage or loss during transportation.
Recycling and reusing equipment
Working to reuse usable assets, and send unusable ones to approved recycling facilities, reducing e-waste and conserving resources.
Document the process and provide compliance reports.
Official documentation is issued detailing all steps taken, including confirmation of data deletion, device disassembly, and recycling, to ensure compliance with environmental and safety standards.
Secure decommissioning of data centers
Data center decommissioning involves more than simply turning off hardware, it is a process that requires careful planning to ensure no data loss or damage to infrastructure. By using professional decommissioning strategies, you can reduce operational risks, comply with environmental and security regulations, and maximize the use of reusable assets.
E-waste management during data center decommissioning
When a data center is dismantled, there are still huge amounts of electronic equipment that must be disposed of responsibly. By following approved recycling standards, e-waste can be reduced, reusable resources can be utilized, and negative environmental impact can be minimized, ensuring the sustainability of technological operations.
