SERVICE · DECOMMISSIONING
When hardware retires, the job isn't done until it's safely out, wiped and recycled. We treat decommissioning with the same care as the install.

HOW IT WORKS
Decommissioning, or ITAD (IT asset disposal), is the safe retirement of end-of-life hardware: pulling it from the rack, erasing or destroying the data on it, and recycling what's left responsibly, with a record of what leaves the building.
We deliver this together with a specialist disposal partner, with Layer One as your single point of contact. You don't take on a separate vendor on top of everything else, you talk to us, and we make sure it's done right.
Removal, data erasure or physical destruction to your policy, and responsible recycling are handled through our specialist partner, with Layer One as your single point of contact from rack to disposal.
You get a record of what left and how it was handled. Retired kit is exactly where data quietly leaks and assets quietly disappear, so the paper trail is the point, not an afterthought.
Most data doesn't leak from live systems. It leaks from drives that left the building without being wiped. Decommissioning is the step that's most often rushed or skipped, so we treat it with the same care as the install.
Moving datacenters? We can clear the old site in the same project: migrate what you keep, decommission what you don't.
