Computer Recycling for Data Centers in Virginia

Electronics Recycling for Data Centers

The more servers and data you manage, the greater the risk associated with end-of-life IT assets.  Data centers, hosting firms, and cloud computing infrastructure providers face multiple challenges in the IT asset auditing, disposal, and destruction arena:

  • Legal and contractual obligations to safeguard the client data residing on their servers, from consumer credit card numbers and health records to enterprise intellectual property and sensitive business information.
  • Compliance with a range of Federal information security and privacy regulations, including NIST 800-88 standards, DoD 5200.22-M data sanitization, HIPAA/HITECH, Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, FACTA Disposal Rule, Bank Secrecy Act, Patriot Act of 2002, Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act, US Safe Harbor Provisions, FDA Security Regulations, PCI Data Security Standard and other local, state, and federal regulations.
  • An almost continuous cycle of upgrading, migrating and refreshing hardware—including servers, hard drives, and other data storage devices–which requires a secure, auditable chain of custody for disposing of IT assets and permanently destroying data.
