Holistic IT Asset Lifecycle Management

Hardware asset management is a strategic, intentional practice – whether it be managing end-user devices or data centre equipment. Logistics and storage requirements add complexity to securely managing your IT hardware throughout its lifecycle through end of life.

Iron Mountain Asset Lifecycle Management is uniquely equipped to address these challenges, drawing on over 70 years of expertise in best-in-class data security, logistics, and storage. This extensive experience combined with our state-of-the-art IT asset processing facilities, renowned global remarketing network, and Teraware – our world-class data sanitisation platform – make us the industry-leading, end-to-end asset lifecycle management provider.

Data security and sustainability are at the core of everything we do. Our secure chain of custody, serialised certificates of data destruction (COD), and environmental impact reporting support compliance and ESG initiatives.

Providing complete control and visibility of hardware assets, we help you maximise IT asset usage throughout the lifecycle and recover value at end-of-use through remarketing.

Our mission

Our mission is to optimise the lifecycle of your IT assets at each stage to achieve maximum use and return on investment.

According to Gartner®,

“The three most important tasks to execute correctly, and to which ITAD executives should pay special attention, are transportation logistics/chain of custody, data sanitization, and recycling. These three tasks represent the greatest risk in the ITAD process, and they should be handled by an experienced, well-vetted ITAD service provider.”

Iron Mountain is recognised as a Representative Provider in the Gartner Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition for the fifth time consecutively.
