As servers reach the end of their lifecycle in a data center, server room or office the question of their disposal really boils down to the following 4 main factors: 1. Who disposes of servers e.g. are there certified server disposal companies? 2. How do they dispose of servers e.g. how are old servers recycled, donated or resold? 3. Where do they dispose of servers e.g. is it a landfill free service, do they have a specialized facility? Lastly, 4. why do they dispose of servers e.g. is it an environmentally friendly & ethical service. If your organization is in the process of decommissioning old servers YBC hopes the pointers below are helpful in answering the who, how, where & why questions relating to server & mainframe disposal:
As of 2020 there were approximately 44 million servers in use around the world. When you think of the number of server farms, data centers, server rooms and offices that use servers on a daily basis you’d be forgiven for thinking the number might be even higher than 44 million. Nearly every organization you can imagine uses servers to ‘backup’ work, run shared applications and host their websites. Cloud servers for example, run day and night, all year round and after a while even the sturdiest of servers get a little glitchy. Server crashes can cause major problems, that’s why nearly every I.T. department plans to replace their servers routinely (usually after 2 to 4 years of use). With millions of servers needing to be disposed of every year the task of collecting, testing, sorting, refurbishing, remarketing, reselling (if possible) and recycling is colossal! That said, disposing of millions of servers is something that YBC has been doing successfully for the past 3 decades. To learn more about I.T. Asset Disposition and Reverse Logistics for decommissioned servers please call YBC today: v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.

With millions of servers needing to be disposed of each year, concerns regarding the sustainability of server manufacturing are on the rise. Furthermore, environmental protection and digital data protection laws are making it harder to simply discard retired servers.

When your company chooses YBC to recycle its servers your ensuring maximum sustainability as 100% of the materials are reclaimed for future use. In addition, with YBC you get an ‘R2’ certified recycling service that ensures your old servers are recycled correctly and not just dumped in the 3rd world.

After the servers have been securely collected by YBC from the clients’ location, each device is checked, cross referenced, sorted and securely stored for testing. For those clients who wish to; sell, donate, redeploy or return the servers to a leasing agent, YBC can help by firstly testing the operational status of each individual server. If in the testing process a server is found to be too badly damaged or utterly outmoded it is usually scheduled to be recycled. However, servers that can be refurbished for a higher sales value, or if being redeployed, will benefit from a better operational level, will go on to be repaired. Furthermore, if YBC is managing the return of leased servers the testing and refurbishment process can help reduce any damage penalties instigated by the lessor. Server testing, refurbishment and storage all occurs at secure, State certified and R2 accredited YBC facilities.

Is your business considering a donation of its retired servers to a charity? There are many charities that are willing to accept the gift of computer servers, however there are several considerations that need to be managed. The most important consideration in gifting old decommissioned servers is ensuring those servers don’t contain any sensitive or personal information. Your old servers may be a gift but they have to be compliant with the data protection laws. One of the easiest methods of ensuring your business’s data isn’t accessible is to either have the hard drive wiped or removed and replaced. You don’t want to give a charity data center servers that are about to fail, so why not enquire about the YBC server donation program. It includes server data destruction, refurbishment, logistics and manages the full chain of custody. In this case YBC issues a certificate to prove the transfer of ownership. This certificate indemnifies your company from any potential prosecution in the future should the servers fail to be recycled correctly. To learn more about the YBC server donation program call v 908 431 0090 or Email Us.
