Direct answer: Server decommissioning covers the safe removal and recycling of servers, storage, network equipment, UPS and cabinets — including certified destruction of the data they hold. In Hong Kong, expect a formal Certificate of Destruction for any storage media, plus recycling receipts for the hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does a server decommissioning project take?

A single rack is usually completed within a day; larger data halls are scheduled rack-by-rack over several days. Timing depends on access hours, lift capacity and the number of units.

Q: Do you remove the racks and cabling too?

Yes — cabinets, rails, PDUs and structured cabling can be dismantled and removed as part of the project.

Q: Will the equipment be resold?

Only with your written approval. Where data is present we recommend destruction instead of resale; equipment approved for reuse is wiped and documented.

Q: Do you provide auditors with documents?

Yes — Certificate of Destruction for media and recycling receipts for hardware, listing item types, quantities and dates.
