    Frequently asked questions

    What is data center decommissioning?

    Data center decommissioning is the structured process of safely shutting down, removing, and disposing of IT and facility equipment from a data center.

    This includes secure data destruction, data erasure, asset value recovery, and certified e-waste recycling to ensure compliance, security, and environmental responsibility.

    What is included in Keystone’s data center decommissioning services?

    Keystone’s data center decommissioning services include on-site equipment deinstallation, secure logistics, on-site or off-site data destruction, asset value recovery and resale, and certified e-waste recycling with full documentation and chain of custody.

    Contact Keystone for more information or to schedule a data center decommissioning project.

    How do you ensure data security during data center decommissioning?

    Keystone follows strict chain of custody procedures and uses certified data destruction methods for all data-bearing devices.

    This ensures sensitive data is permanently destroyed and documented before equipment leaves the site or enters resale or recycling streams.

    Learn more about data destruction.

    Can Keystone help recover value from decommissioned data center equipment?

    Yes. Keystone evaluates eligible equipment for outright purchase or inclusion in a revenue share program. This allows organizations to recover value from retired data center assets and reinvest that capital into other business priorities.
