Could End-Of-Life It Assets Be Your Demise?

Capitalising on generative AI (GenAI) technologies means upgrading IT infrastructure and devices, leaving IT teams wondering how to pay for the upgrades and what to do with existing assets. Learn why IT leaders are rethinking the role asset lifecycle management plays in implementing and reducing the environmental impact of AI technologies in this white paper from IDC.

A disciplined approach to data center decommissioning involves an ongoing process that protects against data breaches, contributes to sustainability goals and maximizes the potential to recover value from equipment no longer needed. Having a secure chain of custody provides complete visibility on assets' physical location from an initial audit through final disposition, ensuring data security.

Decommissioning isn’t just about removing equipment; it's also about protecting data. Automated asset discovery tools solve the problems of manual inventory tracking by providing a dynamic, accurate, and comprehensive view of all IT assets within a data center environment.
