1. Data Center Decommissioning in Singapore
Increasingly, companies in Singapore are migrating their data centres outside of Singapore or upgrading to newer facilities. For whatever reason, they will eventually have to retire their datacentre(s) in Singapore. In the process of moving, there are bound to be assets that are too costly to transport a long distance. These assets are usually taken to a local auction, which may or may not bring in good returns. Computer disposals made by the average citizen are relatively simple – most would take their PC or laptop to the local recycling center and be done with it. The volume of computer equipment and other hardware that large companies have compared to the average home user makes it a very different sort of task. E-waste has created a niche in data centre decommissioning, and many companies are seeking environmentally friendly methods for data destruction and computer recycling. In Singapore, there are strict environmental regulations and high penalties for improper waste disposal. This serves as a deterrent to many companies seeking to export their e-waste to third world countries, and there is a trend of increased e-waste recycling in Singapore. Fortunately, Sustainable Asset Management Solutions in Singapore can handle the entire e-waste management process for you. Their experienced team can help you find solutions for data center decommissioning in Singapore.
2. Data Center Hard Drive Shredding
SAMS offers on-site or off-site hard drive and media sanitization and destruction services. Data security is a critical component to any IT asset disposition project. They provide secure logistics, a detailed inventory of serialized drives, and peace of mind in knowing that sensitive corporate data has been destroyed. Secure data destruction is a critical task often performed as part of an overall data center decommissioning project. The destruction of data must be performed in a manner which ensures that it is non-recoverable and that the process used has been clearly documented for audit purposes. Steps involved with data destruction usually involve the physical destruction of data storage devices. SAMS offers a similar suite of services which includes a chain of custody asset tag ID system, enterprise data erasure programs, and physical destruction of various media types. An effective data destruction process will require the secure transport of hard drives from the data center to a data destruction facility. Sustainable Asset Management Solutions offers services such as data center hard drive shredding.
3. Professional & Safe HDD Disposal
Studies have shown that overwriting or reformatting a hard disk drive does very little to remove most data, and that data remanence has significant implications even after a hard disk has been decommissioned. Data can still be easily recovered from a drive even if it has been formatted. With the ever-increasing importance of data protection in the modern day, it is crucial to ensure that data destruction is carried out thoroughly. Our services guarantee complete data erasure from hard disk drives, and our processes comply with international data protection and environmental management standards. We do this with the use of tools and software which provide certification of data erasure, and the technique of physically destroying the disk platters. Other methods of data destruction such as degaussing, or shredding the hard disk drive, can often be unreliable, and this is a major concern for many companies who are still involved in managing classified information. Data security concerns also extend to end users who require data destruction from personal computers. We provide the same high standard of data destruction for all HDDs, and this can be done at our e-waste recycling and data destruction facility, or at collection events for residential e-waste. SAMS prides itself on professional & safe HDD disposal in Singapore.
