Data Center Services
Decommissioning
For all types of data centers, we provide decommissioning and data destruction services. IT equipment that has been retired is redeployed, sold, or recycled. For large projects, project plans are created. Our field technicians work closely with data center employees to ensure that equipment is removed while causing the least amount of disruption to concurrent activities.
Hyperscale Data Center Services
Cloud providers rely on GP to decommission rack servers, blade servers, SANs, and data center infrastructure in a systematic manner. GP resells surplus equipment and components and responsibly recycles equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Hard drive bulk shredding is a quick, cost-effective, and secure way to ensure data security.
Edge Data Center Services
At the same time that hyperscale data centers are being constructed to process and store big data, there is a need to keep some data processing capability adjacent to population centers for faster response times. Edge data centers, or MMDCs, provide this proximity. GP provides turn-key decommissioning of these satellite data centers when they have outlived their useful life.
Data Destruction
GP provides a variety of data destruction services at our clients' data centers. We assist you in complying with data protection regulatory obligations and avoiding fines for noncompliance.
Corporate Data Center Shutdown
Companies are permanently shutting down their corporate data centers as data and processing migrate to the cloud. GP aids in the decommissioning of data center equipment, such as UPS, HVAC equipment, and server racks, by pulling cables and removing any support structure.
Recycling Data Center Equipment
GP is internationally recognized for its superior recycling capabilities, ensuring that your equipment is recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. Inquire about our capability to recycle IT equipment, racks, and mechanical and electrical infrastructure from data centers.
Colocated Data Center
Allow GP to assist you with rack decommissioning, cage cleanouts, inventory reconciliation, bulk on-site data destruction, and IT asset disposition. We oversee the entire process, ensuring a strong chain of custody.
Infrastructure Reuse
We buy and sell used servers and network equipment that has been removed from your data centre. Our well-established resale channels enable us to make quick and profitable sales.
We Buy Used Servers and Blades
We stand ready to resell your retired equipment, leveraging our strong reputation and robust network in the secondary market.
On-Site Hard Drive Shredding
Most data centers require data to be destroyed while hard drives and tapes are still in their custody and control. GP offers data destruction solutions for small and large projects. Our mobile shred trucks destroys thousands of hard drives per day, at the data center.
