Why on-premise destruction matters
The riskiest moment in any decommissioning project is transport. Equipment that leaves your building with data still on it is a chain-of-custody problem and a disclosure problem waiting to happen. Destroying data while the equipment is still in your custody removes that risk entirely — degaussing, crushing, erasing or shredding, across disk arrays, SANs and NAS, magnetic drives, SSDs and backup tapes.

Where this leads
A cleared floor is a starting point, not a finish line. Most rooms that need clearing also need their density ceiling raised. See thermal and power uprate →
