When do you need data decommissioning?

Data center decommissioning is essential whenever IT infrastructure is being retired, relocated, or upgraded. Common situations include data center closures, consolidations, colocation exits, cloud migrations, hardware refresh cycles, and M&A or divestiture projects. Professional decommissioning ensures secure removal of servers, storage, networking gear, and supporting assets while protecting data, maintaining compliance, and maximizing asset recovery.

Why it's risky without the right moving partner

Improper data center decommissioning can put sensitive information at risk, compromise chain-of-custody, and lead to compliance or environmental liabilities. Partnering with OMX ensures these risks are minimized through certified processes, secure handling, and audit-ready documentation every step of the way.
